Vilnius Airport to Add More Tel Aviv Flights This Summer

Vilnius Airport will see a significant increase in direct flights to Tel Aviv this summer, as two airlines expand their routes and a third resumes services earlier than planned, Lithuanian Airports announced on Wednesday.

Israeli carrier Arkia, which only began flying from Vilnius in May, will almost double its frequency during the peak summer months of July and August, rising from three to five flights per week. Fellow Israeli airline Israir already operates three weekly flights on the route.

Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air will resume direct services a month ahead of schedule, launching on August 6 with two flights per week. The frequency will increase to four flights per week in the following months.
