The first full month of the aviation summer season was active at all three airports \u2013 Vilnius, Kaunas and Palanga \u2013 which ensure a variety of destinations and convenient air connectivity with important European aviation hubs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><br \/>Having served 542.2 thousand passengers in March, the network of Lithuanian Airports continued growth trends and provided services to 652.5 thousand passengers in April. According to LTOU, passenger flows in April this year were 8.2 percent higher compared to the previous record in April 2025.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\u201cThe aviation summer season, which got into full swing in April, brought another all-time record for this month to Lithuanian Airports. Amid geopolitical challenges, route optimisations, airline strikes, and general uncertainty \u2013 passenger flows, which continued to grow by a tenth, continued demonstrating the resilience of our market and the unfading desire to travel. I believe that new and returning routes and more frequent flights as the weather warms up will further encourage people to travel by air and get to know the world,\u201d says Simonas Bartkus, CEO of Lithuanian Airports.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>In total, 3.2 percent more flights took place in the LTOU network in April 2026 than in the same month in 2025. In April of this year, LTOU served almost 5,300 flights.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>In April, the volume of cargo transported in the LTOU network also grew \u2013 almost 1,800 tonnes were transported, or 4.9 per cent more than in the same month last year.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>A recent study showed that about half (49 percent) of the country\u2019s population is planning at least one trip by aircraft this year. Most of the air travel plans were related to flights to Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Greece and Turkey.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In April, passenger flows at Lithuanian Airports (LTOU) continued to grow and exceeded 652 thousand, reaching another all-time monthly record.
