Private investor will have to save Air Lituanica, PM says

“The Government will not be investing and the future of Air Lituanica will depend on investors, if there are any. I have information from the Ministry of Transport and Communications that talks are taking place,” the prime minister told journalists on Wednesday.

According to Butkevičius, having a national airline is in the interest of the country.
