JETMS Embarks on Strategic Transition to Support Sustainable Growth

JETMS, a global provider in aircraft interior solutions and a member of Avia Solutions Group, is undertaking a strategic transition to drive sustainable growth and support its ongoing expansion. As part of this initiative, the company will relocate its production activities from the UK (JETMS Completions Ltd) to Kaunas, Lithuania (JETMS Interiors UAB), effective 1 January 2026.

“This strategic transition represents a natural evolution in our growth journey, enabling us to combine the design and engineering expertise of our UK team with world-class manufacturing capabilities in Lithuania. By optimizing operations and production, JETMS is well-positioned for long-term sustainable growth and increased value for our customers. We remain fully committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality, reliability, and service excellence,” said Stefan Chevalier, CEO of JETMS.

Following the transition, JETMS Completions Ltd (United Kingdom) will continue as the Group’s center of excellence for design and engineering, innovation and business development.

JETMS’s UK-based team will remain focused on cabin design, certification, and modification programs, combining engineering precision with innovative design solutions tailored to each aircraft type and mission profile.

JETMS Interiors UAB (Lithuania), led by CEO Mindaugas Trapenskis, will serve as the Group’s Production Centre of Excellence, operating from a 65,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility capable of full-scale cabin manufacturing, refurbishment, and installation.
