History

The airline was founded in December 2009 as flyLAL Charters PL Sp. z o. o., a branch of Lithuanian Airlines.[3] In April 2009 Small Planet Airlines bought the firm from its parent company Avia Solutions Group.

In October 2018, Small Planet Airlines Poland filed for restructuring measures due to a negative financial outlook[5] shortly after its badly managed German sister carrier declared bankruptcy. On 9 November 2018, most probably as a consequence of its sister company bankruptcy, it has been announced however that Small Planet Airlines Poland ceased its operations.[4]

Destinations

The company flew to Spain, Tunisia, Turkey, Greece, Italy and other countries from various Polish cities, mostly Katowice and Warsaw.
