                                               <span class=\"text-base text-charcoal line-clamp-4\">\n                                                        Lithuanian Airports (LTOU) have announced that on 16 June, Vilnius Airport has unveiled its new main commercial space which has been given the name VNO Plaza. The renovated area of the former departures terminal is a significant stage in the modernization of infrastructure of Vilnius Airport &#8211; it will allow to manage passenger flows more efficiently, improve the travel experience, ensure smoother operations of the airport as the number of passengers grows, and maintain the airport&#039;s competitiveness through growing commercial revenues. Various retail and catering operators will operate in the transformed space, including the largest Duty-Free store in the Baltics.\n&quot;At Vilnius Airport, we are completing another stage of infrastructure transformation and opening a new centre of attraction for passengers &#8211; VNO Plaza. The venue, which served as the flight check-in hall for decades, is now becoming the airport&#039;s largest commercial space. I believe that modern interiors, natural light, new brands and a significantly expanded offering will meet the needs of customers and contribute to a great travel experience. The space will allow the airport to manage passenger flows more efficiently, and additional commercial revenues will allow it to remain competitive in attracting new flights,&quot; says Simonas Bartkus, CEO of Lithuanian Airports.\n&quot;As Vilnius grows rapidly, our airport &#8211; one of the city&#039;s most important gateways &#8211; is also modernizing. It is great to see that new, bright and comfortable spaces are opening up for passengers. A modern airport and an extensive network of direct flights are inseparable from increasing the city&#039;s competitiveness. Therefore, Vilnius City Municipality has been implementing the direct flights promotion programme for several years, which helps to establish new connectivity opportunities and strengthens the city&#039;s ties with the most important economic, innovation and business centres,&quot; says Vilnius City Mayor, Valdas Benkunskas.\nFundamentally reconstructed infrastructure \u2013 a guarantee of the airport&#039;s competitiveness\nDuring the year-long reconstruction of the first stage, not only the spaces visible to passengers, but also the &quot;invisible&quot; infrastructure was completely renovated: water supply, electrical installation, ventilation, heating solutions, security and sound systems. The roof of the terminal has been renovated \u2013 more daylight enters the spaces, the terminal looks brighter and visually closer to the new departure terminal.\nThe interior, architecture and finishing materials of the space are designed with the new departure terminal in mind and become a continuation of the integral complex. This is not the final end of the entire reconstruction, but an important intermediate step: further works will move to non-Schengen areas.\nThe additional commercial income generated by the new space will enable Vilnius Airport to maintain low charges for airlines and thus remain attractive in the highly competitive European aviation market. It is said that the commercial benefits brought by the new space will indirectly contribute to attracting and retaining new airlines and destinations. VNO Plaza is the main part of the conversion of the old departures terminal, and the value of the entire reconstruction project reaches 15 million euros. It is estimated that the new space should bring about 10 million euros to the airport per year.\nThe largest Duty-Free store in the Baltics\nThe largest Duty-Free store of the Heinemann brand in the Baltic States has become the centre of the new VNO Plaza, where passengers will find not only the most popular brands, but also a significantly expanded range of Lithuanian products. The new store is 55 percent larger and occupies as much as 1,300 sq. m. Special attention was paid to Lithuanian products, for which more than 200 sq. m. have been allocated, and where travellers will be able to buy food, beverages, textiles, perfumery and other products from various local producers. In the store, travellers will also find an expanded range of niche perfumery that is becoming increasingly popular.\n\u201cOur long-standing partnership with Lithuanian Airports is defined by trust, collaboration, and a shared ambition to put the travelers first. The reopening is a strong next step in our joint journey to further enhance the passenger experience and shape the future of travel retail together.\u201d \u2013 says Max Heinemann, Co-CEO of Gebr. Heinemann.\nIt is said that the new Duty-Free store will welcome travellers with a bright and cozy interior, supplemented with traditional Lithuanian ethnographic elements and ornaments.\nNew spaces for everyone&#039;s needs\nWith this stage, more than 3,000 sq. m. of new commercial space in the reconstructed part of the departures terminal will offer passengers a wide range of goods and services. Some of the spaces are already open today, and several more brands, such as the Burger King fast food restaurant and the Aspire Business Lounge, are scheduled to open this summer.\n\u00a0\nThe Narvesen convenience store is dedicated to quick pre-flight purchases, as well as travel readings &#8211; from press to books. The jewellery and accessories space Marry me by Ribas invites you to a significant gift or a journey that begins with the mood of the holiday. There will also be a niche perfumery and cosmetics space Creme de la Creme waiting for passengers. Camden Food Co. will be a dining option with a healthier assortment, while Le Grand Comptoir will invite travellers to taste Lithuanian dishes.\n\u201cSSP is proud to open Sodai Le Grand Comptoir in the Central Plaza, marking our sixth location at the Vilnius airport and an important milestone for our growing F&amp;B portfolio. Sodai brings the essence of Lithuanian cuisine to travelers through seasonal dishes, local drinks, and a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere. This opening reinforces our commitment to creating authentic, high-quality dining experiences at the heart of the passenger journey.\u201d \u2013 says Elena Heiska, Managing Director at SSP Finland &amp; Baltics.\n&quot;The opening of the new Narvesen store at Vilnius Airport marks the end of an important strategic project \u2013 we have completed the transformation of all our locations at Lithuanian Airports according to the new concept. This is a significant milestone not only for our organization, but also in the long-term partnership with Lithuanian Airports, which we consider to be one of the most important partners in creating a modern passenger experience. The new store reflects what Narvesen is today \u2013 a modern environment, an assortment carefully tailored to the needs of travelers, high-quality responsibly sourced organic coffee, fresh food prepared by us every day, and a comfortable shopping experience at the very first point of travel,&quot; says Saulius \u017dil\u0117nas, CEO of Reitan Convenience Lithuania.\nThe final stage: non-Schengen area\nThe border control of the State Border Guard Service (VSAT) for those travelling to non-Schengen countries is moving to the space of VNO Plaza. The path of passengers travelling to non-Schengen countries at the airport will become clearer and more convenient, and it is to these spaces that further reconstruction works will move. The new border area will be more spacious and cozy, and it should also improve working conditions for border officials. Relevant non-Schengen destinations are the United Kingdom, Turkey, Egypt, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, etc.\n\u00a0\nIn the first five months of this year, Vilnius Airport served more than 2 million passengers, or almost a tenth more than in 2025, and each of these months set a new all-time record. The growing desire to travel, as well as new airlines and new and returning popular routes helped to achieve the records.                                                    <\/span>\n

The growing desire to travel, as well as new airlines and new and returning popular routes helped to achieve these records.                                                    <\/span>\n                                                                                                <div class=\"flex items-end flex-1 basis-auto justify-between\">\n                                                                                                            <time class=\"text-graphite text-xs\" datetime=\"2026 06 10\">\n                                                            2026 06 10                                                        <\/time>\n                                                                                                        <a class=\"flex items-center gap-2 text-blue text-base font-medium !no-underline hover:!underline transition-all duration-200 ease-in-out\" href=\"https:\/\/ltou.lt\/en\/airlines-will-operate-more-vilnius-tel-aviv-flights\/\">\n                                                        More                                                        <span class=\"sr-only\">\n                                                            Airlines will operate more Vilnius-Tel Aviv flights                                                        <\/span>\n                                                                                                                    <i class=\"text-blue\">\n                                                                <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n<path d=\"M12.6 12L8 7.4L9.4 6L15.4 12L9.4 18L8 16.6L12.6 12Z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n                                                            <\/i>\n                                                                                                            <\/a>\n                                                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/a>\n                                <\/div>\n                                                            <div class=\"swiper-slide !flex !h-auto\">\n                                    <a\n                                        href=\"https:\/\/ltou.lt\/en\/lithuanian-airports-continue-to-renew-as-new-websites-released\/\"\n                                        class=\"!no-underline\"\n                                        rel=\"bookmark\"\n                                    >\n                                        <span class=\"sr-only\">\n                                            Lithuanian Airports continue to renew as new websites released                                        <\/span>\n                                        <div class=\"flex flex-col flex-1 max-w-full\">\n                                            <div class=\"w-full overflow-hidden rounded-t-2xl\">\n                                                                                                                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/images.ltou.lt\/QepqIzTbZRHTjI2cK3rUoVx41p0=\/fit-in\/origxorig\/2026%2F06%2FNauji-tinklalapiai-1.jpg\" class=\"w-full object-cover max-h-[169px] h-[169px] md:max-h-[190px] md:h-[190px] lg:max-h-[213px] lg:h-[213px]\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"low\" \/>                                                                                            <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"flex-1 basis-auto flex flex-col gap-2 p-4 lg:p-6 rounded-b-2xl bg-white border-1 border-t-0 border-pale-blue\">\n                                                                                                    <ol class=\"flex flex-wrap items-center text-xs overflow-hidden whitespace-nowrap text-blue uppercase mb-2\">\n                                                                                                                    <li class=\"text-blue text-xs leading-4.5 flex items-center\">\n                                                                News                                                                                                                            <\/li>\n                                                                                                            <\/ol>\n                                                                                                <span class=\"text-xl font-medium text-black line-clamp-3\">Lithuanian Airports continue to renew as new websites released<\/span>\n                                                                                                    <span class=\"text-base text-charcoal line-clamp-4\">\n                                                        Lithuanian Airports (LTOU) is starting the summer with the company&#039;s new websites. From now on, the online home of all three airports \u2013 Vilnius, Kaunas, and Palanga \u2013 is united by a common design, more functions and a smoother browsing experience.\n\u00a0\n&quot;We are consistently implementing LTOU&#039;s strategy of providing the best passenger experience and offering innovative solutions, so we are pleased to introduce our new airport websites that are designed for smooth and convenient navigation for millions of visitors every year. We are entering a new stage in the digital space, responding to today&#039;s technological needs. I believe that the overall design of all websites and the latest features will allow people to quickly find information, help plan a trip and encourage to use various services provided at the airports,&quot; says Neril\u0117 Ma\u017eeikien\u0117, Director of Passenger Experience and Digitalization at Lithuanian Airports.\n\u00a0\nThe airports&#039; websites have been updated after a seven-year break. N. Ma\u017eeikien\u0117 notes that during this period, passenger flows have increased significantly, the range of services has expanded, and consumers are becoming more and more proficient in using artificial intelligence tools on mobile devices.\n\u00a0\nThe updated websites meet the highest cybersecurity requirements, and suppliers ensure their uninterrupted availability.\n\u00a0\nNew websites \u2013 more convenient, safer and clearer for passengers\n\u00a0\nBefore the flight, there are detailed instructions: from baggage rules and the database of prohibited items to preparation for security checks and information for passengers with individual needs.\n\u00a0\nTransport solutions: \u00a0integrated parking reservation, detailed information about the Kiss &amp; Fly area, intercity and public transport schedules. Passengers will also find information about car-sharing services in this section.\n\u00a0\nAfter the flight, a convenient electronic form has been developed for the management of lost items, so that passengers can quickly and easily report their lost property and receive prompt assistance.\n\u00a0\nThe improved flight information module has also become more convenient, where passengers will find all the information related to their flight. After choosing their flight, each passenger will find a complete travel plan, from check-in desks to boarding gates. The module also provides information on how long a passenger will spend on average at individual points of the airport before the flight. In addition, a fast-track service can be purchased here with just a few clicks of a button.\n\u00a0\nIn the flight information module, passengers will find information about the air temperature in the area they are traveling to. A module of prohibited items is also presented: those who doubt whether it is possible to take one or another item on their trip now simply turn on the tool, which provides a clear answer.\n\u00a0\nPassengers can find all the services offered by Lithuanian Airports in one place by visiting the e-shop.\n\u00a0\nThe direction of improvement is determined by the passenger experience\n\u00a0\nThe new websites of Lithuanian Airports are created not only as information portals, but also as an evolution-oriented platform, in the process of improvement of which passengers themselves are directly involved. According to Ma\u017eeikien\u0117, a lot of attention is paid to promoting feedback. For example, on the reviews page, passengers can not only write a text comment, but also interactively tag a specific location on the website that they would like to comment, improve, or report an error they notice.\n\u00a0\nThe digital platform ensures a direct connection with the development team: after submitting your offer and providing an e-mail address, the information reaches the LTOU digital channel development specialists. As a result, the company can proactively and quickly respond to the real needs of passengers and promptly adjust the content or functionality of the website.\n\u00a0\n&quot;We strive for the passenger to become a co-creator \u2013 their real experiences and insights help the team to discover new ideas that might not be noticed during internal processes,&quot; notes N. Ma\u017eeikien\u0117 and emphasizes that the tool is part of the broader LTOU strategy aimed at ensuring the best passenger experience in the digital space. &quot;Since the new platform is designed in such a way that additional functions can be easily implemented in the future, passenger feedback becomes the main lever when compiling a list of priorities. We want to create a digital home that would be as comfortable as possible for millions of guests,&quot; says the Director of Passenger Experience and Digitalization at LTOU.\n\u00a0\nRecord traffic \u2013 also online\n\u00a0\nLTOU manages four websites \u2013 for each of the airports, and a corporate one. Each website is available in two languages \u2013 Lithuanian and English. It is estimated that websites are visited an average of two million times a year, and three-quarters of visits are made using mobile devices.\n\u00a0\nMost often, users look for information about flight schedules, connectivity to the airport, security requirements, and services provided \u2013 shops, restaurants, parking, etc.\n\u00a0\nThe website of Vilnius Airport is accessible by links www.vno.lt or www.vilnius-airport.lt, Kaunas Airport \u2013 www.kun.lt or www.kaunas-airport.lt, Palanga Airport \u2013 www.palanga-airport.lt, Lithuanian Airports \u2013 www.ltou.lt.\n\u00a0

Montenegro, Podgorica. The airline Wizz Air started direct flights on June 7. Flights from Lithuania to Montenegro are operated twice per week.\n&quot;Podgorica is another European capital that passengers can now directly reach from Vilnius. This destination opens up even wider possibilities for summer holidays for travellers in our region \u2013 from the mountains and lakes of Montenegro to sunny sea beaches. This development demonstrates the importance of our partnership with Wizz Air \u2013 we are constantly striving to offer passengers more choices and discoveries in Europe, where the tourism infrastructure is well developed and provides a great experience,&quot; says Simonas Bartkus, CEO of Lithuanian Airports.\nMontenegro is often referred to as the pearl of the Balkans. The capital of this country, Podgorica, is cozy with a population of about 180 thousand. It intertwines historical heritage, modern architecture and a calm southern rhythm of life. Travellers are attracted by the opportunity to walk through the old Stara Varo\u0161 quarter, visit the impressive Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, admire the Millennium Bridge, or take a breather in the green spaces of the city by the Moracha River. The city is a convenient starting point for exploring Montenegro&#039;s natural treasures, from Lake Skadar to mountain routes and the Adriatic coast.\n&quot;We are delighted to welcome passengers on Wizz Air&#039;s first flights between Vilnius and Podgorica. This new route further expands our flight network from Lithuania and gives travellers even more opportunities to explore Europe,&quot; says Salvatore Gabriele Imperiale, Head of Corporate Communications at Wizz Air. He confirms that Montenegro is a destination that combines spectacular nature, rich cultural heritage and the Adriatic coast, making this country an attractive choice for Lithuanian travellers. &quot;The opening of this route reflects our continued commitment to the Lithuanian market and our desire to offer affordable and comfortable travel opportunities throughout Europe,&quot; emphasizes G. Imperiale.\nThe new Vilnius-Podgorica route will complement Wizz Air&#039;s network of routes from Lithuania and provide travellers with even more opportunities to conveniently plan summer trips to Southern Europe. Flight tickets for this and other destinations are sold on the official website www.wizzair.com.\nInternational guides point out that Podgorica is perfect for both a short weekend getaway and a longer trip around the country in search of authentic Balkan culture, warm hospitality and undiscovered experiences.                                                    <\/span>\n

                                                         <span class=\"text-base text-charcoal line-clamp-4\">\n                                                        Lithuanian Airports (LTOU) have announced that a new advanced drone detection system has been installed at Palanga Airport. The new equipment was installed as the airport welcomes record passenger flows and an increasing number of flights. Palanga Airport invites residents and visitors of the city to obey rules and cooperate, but warns that violators will face fines. A similar system will soon start operating at Kaunas and Vilnius airports.\n\u00a0\nThe established drone control zone of the airport, where drone flights not coordinated with the respective services are prohibited, includes not only Palanga Airport and its surroundings, but also adjacent inhabited areas, such as Kunigi\u0161kiai, the northern part of Palanga, as well as the territories north of Palanga Airport towards \u0160ventoji. It should be emphasized that the corresponding part of the seaside (beach) also falls into this zone. No-fly zones for drones have been formed taking into account the take-off and landing paths of aircraft at various altitudes in order to ensure the highest level of aviation safety. This year, 37 unauthorized drone flights have already been recorded in the airport&#039;s aircraft control area.\n\u00a0\nThe exact boundaries of the zone can be checked here: https:\/\/utm.ans.lt\/avm\/#p=7.59\/55.159\/23.825\n\u00a0\n&quot;Unmanned aerial vehicles pose a new type of threat to aviation safety and security. In order to maintain the highest standards of aviation security while the airport is serving record passenger flows, we have installed the latest generation drone detection system, which allows us to detect unauthorized activities with extreme accuracy. We encourage the residents and guests of Palanga to enjoy the seaside with their own eyes, and if they see the drone \u2013 to report by phone 112. Aviation safety is in the common interest of all of us, but we warn that violators will be identified, and unauthorized activities will result in liability,&quot; says Vidas K\u0161anas, Director of the Safety, Security and Resilience at Lithuanian Airports.\n\u00a0\n&quot;Drone users still underestimate the risks and legal requirements. Our response is prompt and principled, especially at the approaches to airports and other strategic objects. We remind all that a reckless drone flight can cause serious consequences for air traffic safety,&quot; says General Viktoras Grabauskas, Commander of the Public Security Service.\n\u00a0\nDrone detection system \u2013 highly advanced and accurate\n\u00a0\nThe system monitors the airspace with the help of antennas and detects the scattering of radio signals. Within the boundaries of the aerodrome and its protection zones, monitoring is carried out around the clock throughout the year. The technical capabilities of the new system allow to determine the location, direction of movement, altitude, time and other identification parameters of the drone, as well as the geographical location of the drone operator. During the development of the new system, response algorithms have been established in interaction with aviation security partners \u2013 the Public Security Service (VST) and local police. In order to ensure airspace safety and flight safety, decisions are made together with the air navigation services provider on the possible suspension of air traffic, and VST forces are sent to detect the violator.\n\u00a0\nIn all cases when an unauthorised drone flight takes place in the prohibited zone, the drone detection system &quot;Drone Radar&quot; notifies the Head of Aviation Security of Palanga Airport, the Head of the Public Security Service Forces protecting this important state object, the Klaip\u0117da County Police watchmen and the Senior Officer of the Joint Operations Centre of the Public Security Service.\n\u00a0\nUpon receipt of a notification from the system, the crews of the Public Security Service and the police immediately react to the violation of the prohibited zone of Palanga Airport, and the interaction of the response between the forces responding to the violations is ensured and coordinated by the Joint Operations Centre of the Public Security Service.\n\u00a0\nSignificant fines for violators\n\u00a0\nAdministrative proceedings against the detained offender are carried out by the officers of the Public Security Service. Since the activation of the system for piloting drones in the prohibited zone of Palanga Airport without permission, the Public Security Service has already brought 5 persons to administrative responsibility.\n\u00a0\nIt should be noted that piloting drones in prohibited zones without a permit, in accordance with Article 393 (4) of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Republic of Lithuania, incurs a fine from 400 to 800 euros and confiscation of the drone may be imposed. If such a violation is committed repeatedly, a fine from 800 to 1200 euros would be threatened, with mandatory confiscation of the drone.\n\u00a0\nSafe drone control is everyone&#039;s shared responsibility\n\u00a0\nThe Public Security Service and Lithuanian Airports remind that before using an unmanned aircraft (drone), it is mandatory to make sure that the place where it is located does not fall into the prohibited territory and that the prior consent of the legal entity of that territory is required. This can be checked: https:\/\/utm.ans.lt\/avm\/#p=7.59\/55.159\/23.825\u00a0\u00a0 \nIf the drone has a camera, the operator must obtain a certificate from the Transport Competence Agency: https:\/\/tka.lt\/katalogas\/bendra-informacija-2\u00a0 It should be emphasized that drone manufacturers do not assume responsibility for automatic warnings and unauthorized use and all responsibility with consequences lies with the drone operator.\nLiability for violations of the rules of procedure for the use of drones is provided for in Article 393 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Republic of Lithuania. https:\/\/www.infolex.lt\/ta\/336765:str393\u00a0\nMore information about the requirements for the use of drones: https:\/\/ltsa.lrv.lt\/lt\/veiklos-sritys\/oro-transportas-1\/bepilociai-orlaiviai\/ \nThe no-fly zone for drones is informed by the warning signs on the perimeter fence of Palanga Airport. After the implementation of the latest detection system, an information campaign will be carried out for residents and guests of the city in order to educate about emerging threats, the boundaries of the no-fly zone, as well as fines for violators of the rules.\n\u00a0\nIt is reminded that all information for those seeking to legally and safely operate an unmanned aircraft (drone) near Lithuanian airports is provided www.ltou.lt\/dronai\n\u00a0\nIn the record year 2025, Palanga Airport served almost 448.4 thousand passengers &#8211; 18.7 per cent more than in 2024. Palanga Airport also sets records at the beginning of 2026 &#8211; the number of passengers grew in both January and February.                                                    <\/span>\n

that Vilnius Airport is joining the annual Vilnius Pink Soup Fest and temporarily rebranding as Vilnius Pinkternational Beetport. With its new name and decorated in pink, the airport has become the gateway to the festival, which is being organized for the fourth time and will run for three days.\n\u00a0\nCold beetroot soup, pink soup, or \u201c\u0161altibar\u0161\u010diai\u201d in Lithuanian, is a traditional Lithuanian cold soup made mainly from kefir, cooked grated beets, cucumbers, dill, hard-boiled eggs, and green onions. It\u2019s famous for its bright pink colour and is usually served chilled with hot boiled potatoes on the side. It\u2019s especially popular in summer because it\u2019s refreshing, tangy, and light.\n\u00a0\nThe fa\u00e7ade of the Departures terminal of Vilnius Airport has been decorated with the new name, Vilnius Pinkternational Beetport, in the check-in hall and in the Arrivals terminal, travellers are greeted by the main ingredients of cold beetroot soup, and in the corridor connecting the terminals stretches the river of cold beetroot soup, which flows towards the cafes, restaurants and shops all united for this pink festival. In addition, the sign VILNIUS, located on the fa\u00e7ade of the Arrivals terminal, glows in pink day and night, thus greeting all fans of the dish.\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u201cThe city of Vilnius has already turned pink and is waiting for thousands of fans of cold beetroot soup, some of whom will fly in from abroad. We are the gateway to Vilnius \u2013 the capital of \u201c\u0161altibar\u0161\u010diai\u201d, so this year we are not only welcoming travellers with a special pink mood, but also with an appropriate name. We invite everyone to start and continue the festival at the airport, where we will create a pink soup mood for passengers together with our partners,\u201d says Neril\u0117 Ma\u017eeikien\u0117, Director of Passenger Experience and Digitalization at Lithuanian Airports.\n\u00a0\nFor the fourth edition of the festival, which will for the first time last three days, Vilnius Airport welcomes passengers with an updated name, pink decorations and installations inviting passengers to take pictures, join and celebrate the most unique festival in the region. Cafes and restaurants located at Vilnius Airport will serve cold beetroot soup on their menus, tastings and special offers will take place, and pink soup merchandise, clothes and souvenirs will be available in stores. The festively decorated airport will remain so until the end of Vilnius Pink Soup Fest on May 31.\n\u00a0\nIn the first four months of this year, Vilnius Airport reached a new record and served just over one and a half million pink soup fans, or on average a tenth more than in the same period last year.                                                    <\/span>\n

(LTOU) announced that on 21 May, a new airline \u2013 Arkia Israeli Airlines \u2013 started operations at Vilnius Airport. One of Israel&#039;s largest airlines, which will operate regular flights in Lithuania for the first time, will further improve air connectivity between Vilnius and Tel Aviv.\nThe airline plans to operate flights from Vilnius to Tel Aviv during the aviation summer season &#8211; until October 4. Direct regular flights will take place three times a week \u2013 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Direct flights between Vilnius and Tel Aviv will take almost four hours.\n&quot;We are consistently strengthening Lithuania&#039;s connectivity and openness to the world. Every new carrier and new direct flight is a clear signal that we are visible, reliable and attractive to international partners. We are pleased to welcome the first flight of one of Israel&#039;s largest airlines &#8211; Arkia. This further broadens opportunities to travel, cooperate, and strengthen ties,&quot; says Minister of Transport and Communications, Juras Taminskas.\n&quot;The opening of the Tel Aviv-Vilnius route reflects our commitment to developing new destinations serving several market segments. This air connection will benefit Israeli travellers and provide Lithuanian residents with a direct flight to Israel, strengthening tourism, business and people-to-people relations between the two countries,&quot; says Oz Berlowitz, CEO of Arkia Israeli Airlines.\n&quot;We congratulate the second airline from Israel at Vilnius Airport. We are glad that Arkia has chosen to establish flights to Vilnius for its development. With the rapid growth of the number of tourists from Israel in Lithuania, a new carrier and additional direct flights will create even more favourable conditions not only to discover Lithuania, but also to reach Tel Aviv. Last year, more than 70 thousand passengers flew between Lithuania and Israel \u2013 almost three times more than in 2024, so we are pleased with Arkia&#039;s decision to enter our growing and promising market,&quot; says Simonas Bartkus, CEO of Lithuanian Airports.\nCatalyst for inbound tourism\nThe arrival of a new carrier reflects the growing interest of tourists from Israel in Lithuania. The main tourism partner of the airline Arkia on this route is the Israeli tour operator Overseas. In the past, the tour operator&#039;s customers used to reach Lithuania on charter flights.\n&quot;As the first Israeli tour operator to recognize the immense potential of Lithuania for the Israeli travelers, we are thrilled to kick off our third consecutive season of operations this time with Arkia Airlines who are launching their direct route from Tel Aviv to Vilnius. This year we are launching three weekly flights and will reach a peak of five weekly flights during the high season, bringing us almost to a daily service. This incredible growth reflects the strong demand and the deep connection Israeli travelers have formed with Lithuania, a destination we are proud to have pioneered in our market,&quot; says Pini Krainer, Co-CEO or Overseas.\n&quot;Reaching our third year of successful operations in Lithuania is a milestone that would not have been possible without our exceptional partners. We extend our deepest gratitude to the Lithuanian Tourism Board, the airport authorities and our dedicated local suppliers. Their unwavering support has been instrumental in positioning Lithuania as a major and highly valued destination for the Israeli market. We look forward to another phenomenal season running through early October, as we continue to strengthen the tourism bridge between our countries,&quot; says Vered Schwartz, Co-CEO of Overseas.\nThe company&#039;s first flight to Vilnius\nThe first Arkia aircraft was greeted at Vilnius Airport by a traditional water arch formed by the Fire Rescue Division of Vilnius Airport, and the first passengers were greeted at the official opening ceremony at the boarding gate by representatives of the airline, the airport, the Israeli and Lithuanian embassies.\nArkia Israeli Airlines is one of Israel&#039;s largest airlines, which started operating in 1949. The company, which has a base at Tel Aviv Airport, offers both domestic flights in Israel and international routes to various countries \u2013 not only in Europe and the Mediterranean, but also to the USA and Asia. The flight to Vilnius will be the first route of Arkia to Lithuania.\nFlight tickets and flight schedule can be found on the airline&#039;s official website www.arkia.co.il
