By expanding to more destinations, we aim to offer more convenient travel options for our passengers and continue growing our market share in the country. The launch of direct flights between Vilnius and Prague restores a long-unserved route, making travel significantly easier for the approximately 20 000 passengers annually who previously relied on connecting flights. This new service will support both leisure and business travel, while also contributing to inbound tourism and the broader economic development of Lithuania and the entire Baltic region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During this summer season (from late March to late October), airBaltic will operate 16 direct routes from the Lithuanian capital to various destinations across Europe and beyond, while also continuing to offer direct flights from Palanga, Lithuania, to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Riga, Latvia.<\/p>\n<p>According to Tomas Zitikis, Head of Route Development at Lithuanian Airports, both leisure and business travelers had long been waiting for a direct flight to Prague. \u201cWe greatly value our long-standing partnership with airBaltic, which allows us to continuously expand our network of direct flights. This new route not only improves travel opportunities for Lithuanian residents but also makes it easier for foreign visitors to discover our country,\u201d said T.
