The government’s request was approved by the government on Wednesday.

However, Marius Gelžinis, the head of Lithuanian airports, says that Air Baltic, having received permission from Lithuania to resume flights from Vilnius to Riga and Tallinn, is unlikely to resume them yet, as he would like to fly More addresses to Dublin, London, Norway, and There are very few passengers only in the Baltic States.

The first Air Baltic flight from Vilnius to Riga was supposed to take place on Wednesday, but the company postponed it for another time. According to M. Gelžinis, it is not yet profitable for the company to start this journey.

“They planned to start earlier in the hope of other directions, those in which our workers would fly: to Norway, Ireland, the United Kingdom, but since the connection is only between the Baltic countries, they still do not have a goal, because the number of passengers would be too small, ”M. Gelžinis told BNS.

“There is very little interest and it makes no sense, because Latvia is not yet open enough, there is nothing to fly to Riga, because the transit would not take place either,” he added.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic and country restrictions, Air Baltic suspended all flights from the Baltic countries on March 17.

Starting Friday, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia will allow their citizens free movement between countries. When traveling through these three countries, citizens of the Baltic States will not have to justify the purpose of the trip and observe 14 days of self-isolation if they did not come from other countries.
