Kazakhstan’s SCAT Airlines to launch direct Astana-Vilnius service

“At present, Lithuania can be reached from Astana via Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, which is somewhat inconvenient,” SCAT Airlines Vice-President Nikolay Buryakov at a news conference in Vilnius on Monday.

“We hope that the direct flight between Kazakhstan and Lithuania will make the travel faster, allowing business travelers to better plan their trips,” said.

Buryakov said that the company has been cooperating with Lithuanian aircraft service providers for at least ten years now and employs more than 200 Lithuanian citizens.
