The Latvian airline airBaltic will further strengthen its operations in Lithuania for the upcoming summer season 2026 by increasing flight frequencies on several important routes from Vilnius, Kaunas, and Palanga. These improvements reflect rising demand for direct and convenient travel options, supporting stronger connectivity across Europe and beyond for passengers in Lithuania.<\/p>\n
Next summer, airBaltic will increase frequencies on a number of strategically important routes from Vilnius Airport. Among the key improvements are; Paris (France) increasing from from 5 to 6 weekly flights; Munich (Germany), from 6 to 8; Prague (Czech Republic) and Berlin (Germany) from 2 to 3 weekly services. Additional increases include Malaga (Spain, from 1 to 2 weekly), Nice (France, from 1 to 2 weekly) and Palma de Mallorca (Spain, from 1 to 2 weekly), supporting the growing demand for seasonal leisure travel.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Palanga\u2013Riga connection will continue to provide reliable access to the wider airBaltic route map, reinforced by improved schedule stability.<\/p>\n
