Finally, Lithuanians will not have to change at Riga airport in order to fly to Dubai. Since November, the airline,,AirBaltic” will fly Vilnius residents directly to Dubai.
This information was shared by the Minister of Communications on his Facebook account Marius Skoudis. According to him, in the near future "AirBaltic" will be granted the status of designated air carrier for direct flights from Vilnius to the Dubai airport of the United Arab Emirates. The first flight should take place on November 2.
"There has never been a direct regular flight with the UAE, and in general such a long-term regular flight in Lithuania. Since we have been working with Lithuanian airports on this direction of flights for many years, it is extremely gratifying that the market sees the potential here," the minister writes.
A direct flight to Dubai opens many new opportunities for Lithuania. This is an alternative to connecting flights to Asia. Dubai Airport is a strategic location with many connecting flights. This opens up new, cheaper alternatives for Lithuanians who want to reach various Asian countries.
It seems that Lithuania's cooperation with the Latvian airline "AirBaltic" and other world airlines can bring even more fruits. This was mentioned by the Minister of Transport himself.
"Last fall, we visited the UAE, where we discussed flights in this direction with one of the largest airlines in the Middle East. We are always in direct contact. It awaits even more knowledge", - wrote M. Skuodis.
