Number of passengers at Lithuanian airports grew to 3.79 mln in 2014
According to Gediminas Almantas, CEO of Lithuanian Airports, the growth was influenced by the current business development environment, ever increasing mobility of people and the fact that Lithuania is becoming more attractive to foreign tourists.
