TravelerPulse profile

Lithuania's national carrier connecting Europe from Vilnius.

Founded

2013

Headquarters

Vilnius, Lithuania

Air Lituanica was a Lithuanian regional airline that operated as the de facto national carrier of Lithuania from 2013 until its closure in 2015. The airline was established with strong backing from Lithuanian government-linked entities and was intended to restore scheduled international air service under a Lithuanian flag following the collapse of flyLAL in 2009. The carrier operated routes primarily from Vilnius International Airport to destinations across Europe, including Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Oslo, and Rome, among others. It positioned itself as a full-service regional airline competing with established European carriers on key business routes. Despite initial optimism, Air Lituanica struggled with financial difficulties and intense competition. The airline suspended operations in April 2015 after failing to secure additional financing, leaving Lithuania without a home-based carrier.

Hubs & network
