Aurimas Stikliunas,
head of the aviation services division at Lithuanian Airports, says new
destinations led to the increase in flight and passenger numbers.
"Compared to the start of the last year, this year we
feel the continuous growth at all the three airports, despite the fact that
several destinations were cancelled at the largest airports in the capital.
They were compensated by a number of new destinations launched late last
year," he said.
Vilnius Airports posted the largest number of serviced
passengers, exceeding 1 mln, which is by 3 % than last year. Kaunas saw its
passenger numbers grow 20% to 244,000, and Palanga serviced 68,000 passengers,
up 27% from the same period last year.
In the first quarter, flights were operated to 89
destinations from Lithuania, including 64
from Vilnius, 20 from Kaunas and five from Palanga.
The three airports also serviced 3.84 tons of cargo, up 6% y-o-y.
