Lithuanian Airports and airBaltic have signed a joint investment agreement under which regular flights to Düsseldorf, Germany, will be operated from Vilnius Airport from 31 October this year. This is the fourth time that flights will be successfully operated under a risk-sharing model designed to invest in strategically important flight routes for Lithuania.

The risk-sharing partnership model, which has successfully linked Vilnius Airport with the London City Airport, is also already in place for flights between the Lithuanian capital and Lisbon (Portugal) and Hamburg (Germany).

Flights between Vilnius and Dusseldorf are planned to operate twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays year-round, starting from October 31, 2024. The flight time is scheduled 2 hours and 15 minutes.

The new route is already available for purchase on the company’s homepage www.airbaltic.com

The flights between both cities will be operated by Airbus A220-300 aircraft.

Martin Gauss, President and CEO of airBaltic: “Vilnius is one of airBaltic’s home cities, and we are pleased to continue our expansion in the Lithuanian capital. By closely monitoring market trends and passenger demand, we believe that the flights between Vilnius and Dusseldorf will be a strategically important route for Lithuania, as Germany is one of the country’s most significant economic partners. This will be already the fourth airBaltic destination in Germany from Vilnius, providing our customer with more travel options for business and leisure travels and by that increasing passenger traffic between both countries.”

 

Simonas Bartkus, CEO of Lithuanian Airports: “The launch of this route means that we will have flights to six of Germany’s largest airports and ten regular routes between Lithuania and Germany. It is gratifying that our investment mechanism is successfully contributing to the development of a strategic direction for the country and to the preparation for the permanent deployment of the German brigade in our country.”
