Vilnius airport to close for runway reconstruction Thursday night

Indrė Baltrušaitienė, spokeswoman for Lietuvos Oro Uostai (Lithuanian Airports), the operator of the country’s three major international airports, told BNS that the last landing in Vilnius would be at 8:55 p.m. and the last takeoff would be at 9:20 p.m.

Wizz Air will be the first airline to start flights from Kaunas, she said.

According to preliminary estimates, a total of 3,100 flights and 300,000 passengers will be temporarily relocated from Vilnius to Kaunas. The smaller airport will also service 460 “own” flights and 75,000 passengers during that period.
