Second budget airline, GetJet, prepares to take off

"We are going to lease two planes from a foreign company. If we receive the consent of the Civic Aviation Office (ULC), our flights will start in February," said Janusz Sitarz the president of TSB, which is the majority shareholder in Silesian Air. GetJet's withdrawal from its earlier plans to lease Airbus' directly from its producer were caused by ULC's sluggishness to carry on with the procedures related to accepting the use of this new type of plane on the Polish market. However, ULC denies this. "We have issued a certificate for the Airbus A-320 which is supposed to be used by the firm," said ULC representatives. GetJet wants to fly from Warsaw, Katowice and Gdańsk to London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, and Brussels. (Puls Biznesu, p. 9) A.Z.
