 “We are delighted to reintroduce one of the most favourable flights between Vilnius and London (LCY). After very difficult times of lockdown and suspension of international air travels caused by the global pandemic, we observe an increased passenger demand for international travel. Therefore, by the end of August we would like to invite passengers from Lithuania to the most conveniently located airport in the UK – to London-City. The re-launched flights are expected to attract a lot of interest and contribute to a strengthening of relations between Lithuania and Great Britain – said Krzysztof Moczulski, LOT’s spokesperson.

 

“We are excited to see the route to London City returning to Vilnius Airport. This route is a very important link not only for our airport but for the whole economy as it improves connectivity and facilitates foreign direct investments and business relationships between both Lithuania and the United Kingdom. Recovery of Vilnius-London City route again brings new travelling possibilities for partners, the whole business community and Lithuanians living in the UK”- states Aurimas Stikliunas, Head of Aviation Services at Lithuanian Airports.

London City (LCY) is an optimally located airport for passengers willing to get to the centre of Great Britain's capital city quickly and conveniently avoiding commuting issues and traffic jams. The airport is located in Royal Docks and it is the closest to the Central London: just under 10 km from City and Canary Wharf.

Starting effectively from July, LOT re-opened a numerous international flights services providing passengers with over 30 holiday destinations around Europe as well as selected long-haul services i.e. to Japan and South Korea.
