About Vilnius Airport

Vilnius Airport is located in Vilnius County, in the southern part of Vilnius City Municipality near the Naujininkai and Kirtimai districts, around 7 km from the city center. Opened to civil air traffic in 1932, it is operated by Lithuanian Airports and serves as Lithuania's main international gateway, supporting business travel, tourism and regional connectivity across the Baltic area.

The airport operates a compact passenger terminal system focused primarily on international flights, with domestic flights handled within the same integrated infrastructure when scheduled. With annual passenger traffic of around 5 million travelers and expanded terminal capacity, Vilnius Airport offers check-in areas, security screening, retail and dining, car rental, parking, public transport links and a 2,515-meter runway. Traffic is typically strongest in the summer season, when leisure routes and frequencies increase, while winter demand is more business-led and concentrated on core European connections.

Airlines operating from Vilnius Airport include carriers such as airBaltic, Ryanair, Wizz Air, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, Finnair, SAS, Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines. Key direct destinations include major hubs and city routes such as Warsaw, Riga, Frankfurt, Istanbul, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Vienna, Brussels, Amsterdam, London and Paris, alongside seasonal leisure services. Demand for flight tickets is supported by Lithuania's capital-city economy, inbound tourism, visiting-friends-and-relatives travel and steady demand for both domestic flights and international flights.
