In 2016, KlasJet purchased the first Boeing 737-500 and started the refurbishment. In 2017 the company received a type-A license for commercial operations allowing flights with over 20 passengers on board, and started operating flights with the refurbished VIP Boeing 737-500.

During the 2017-2018 Euroleague season, KlasJet transported players of the Lithuanian basketball club Zalgiris Kaunas. In February 2018, the Canadian men's ice hockey team arrived at the Olympics in South Korea and chose the Boeing 737-500 for their transportation. The model was properly configured for its use as a sports team aircraft.
