ALEKSANDR CELIADIN: FOUNDER OF GETJET AIRLINES 

GetJet Airlines was founded in 2014 by serial entrepreneur Aleksandr Celiadin. Alex operates a number of businesses in the aviation industry and has offices in the UAE, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta and Cyprus.  Alex has 15+ years of experience in aviation and has a Commercial Pilot license himself.

Pre-founding Career

Aleksandr Celiadin, born and raised in Vilnius, Lithuania, developed a passion for aviation at a very young age through his father, a seasoned aviation engineer. 

Beginning his career as a Sales Executive at Lithuania’s first privately-owned airline – Aurela Airlines, while still pursuing his MBA, Alex quickly immersed himself in the industry. 

Due to the global financial crisis, Aleksandr and former Aurela colleagues took on a failing business, and after successfully navigating through initial turbulence, they co-founded Grand Cru Airlines in 2013. This business venture offered valuable lessons and paved the way for his own venture—GetJet Airlines.

Founding GetJet Airlines

Aleksandr established the company in 2014, and GetJet Airlines soon received its Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) in Lithuania in 2016. 

To better understand the work of his pilots and crew, Aleksandr became a fully licensed FAA Commercial Pilot that same year.

Fueled by the ambition and strategic vision of Aleksandr, GetJet Airlines was followed by the launch of Airhub Aviation, Airhub Training, and GetJet Airlines Latvia.

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER

“At GetJet, we’ve earned a reputation as the premier crewed aircraft leasing company, known for our ability to swiftly mobilize and adapt our resources to meet the industry’s ever-evolving demands. Unlike large ACMI companies, which move like freight trains—powerful but constrained to fixed tracks and slow to accelerate—we operate like a sports car or, as we internally liken ourselves, a Formula 1 team. We’re capable of rapid acceleration and nimble turns, quickly adapting to the dynamic conditions of the aviation market.

We’re focused on delivering premium service and quality, rather than fixating on size and market share. This disciplined approach enables us to address our clients’ critical needs promptly and effectively. When someone, somewhere requires a crewed narrow-body aircraft, we’re here to deliver.

Our team is the main reason we can deliver such reliable and high-quality aviation services all over the world. I take great pride in their outstanding success, which has propelled us forward year after year.”
