Small Planet

Small Planet have 3 divisions.
Small Planet Lithuania (Parent Company) Operating 4x B733
Small Planet Poland operating 2x A320/180Y Based WAW
Small Planet Italy operating 2 x B733/148Y Based FCO and BGY.

LLC is the designator for Small Planet Lithuania.
LLP is the designator for Small Planet Poland.
LLI is the designator for Small Planet Italy.

In the Winter they base an A320 + B733 in Riga to operate charters for Novaturas, the largest Baltic states Tour Operating group.
The A320 doesnt operate out of RIX in the Summer as Novaturas contract SmartLynx A320 + Small Planet B733.

My guess would be then that the A320 is coming to the UK for Summer (as it did the last couple of years for Meridian (Broker)) and thats the one that Olympic Holidays will use, having said that it could be a B733...though the B733 would struggle on BHX-LCA and BHX-PFO.

The RIX based aircraft move around quite alot picking up work where they can find it, apart from the one unit thats dedicated to Novaturas.

The B757 LY-FLG (ex G-BYAR) is I believe leased to SCAT Airlines (Kazakhstan) and operated for them.
