Some airlines are canceling their flights from Lithuania, according to the country’s airport operator.
“The flights are being suspended temporarily and are planned to resume from February,” Aurimas Stikliunas, the head of aviation services at Lithuanian Airports (LOU), has said.
“The suspensions are due to tighter restrictions or very low demand,” he added.
Flights from Vilnius to Tel Aviv, Lviv, Birmingham and other European cities, and from Palanga to London are being temporarily suspended.
The carriers say most of the flights are being cancelled for one or two months.
Despite the Omicron variant, the decrease in passenger numbers is not drastic, as it will account for up to 10% of the overall passenger traffic, according to Stikliunas. (LRT/Business World Magazine)
