Year 1991 - Registration certificate of an enterprice


Year 1993 - The first Antonov An-2 aircraft was sold

The first from the left is aviator George Coy, from Vermont, USA. George's dream to fly the first American Cessna-172 aircraft to Lithuania and fly back to USA with the first An-2 aircraft registered in Lithuania was realized. We sold much more of these planes later.


Year 1998 - 100 aircraft sold

The main aircraft at that time was the Yak. They flew to the UK, Germany, Spain, USA, Australia, New Zealand. The main country was the UK.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the cessation of funding for aviation clubs, most of these aircraft were left to their fate. We are proud that we did not allow then and later many planes to die.

The priority of the company remains the YAK family of aerobatic aircraft. Termikas is successfully working with Jakovlev Design Bureau.

Jakovlev DB performs technical supervision of the project and issues official supplements to maintenance and flight manuals. Upon customer request, we are still making this modification.

Same year, 2001, we initiated and financed the building of a club house with a motel and a café at Pociūnai Airport. The „Debesota“ motel opens before the 1st World Women's Gliding Championship. "Debesota“ has become a center of attraction for aviators, their families and aviation enthusiasts.
