Lithuania’s largest international Vilnius airport will be closed on Thursday night for more than a month in order to reconstruct its runway.
The last landing in Vilnius will be at 8:55 PM and the last take off at 9:20 PM. For 35 days most airlines will be diverted to Kaunas Airport, some 100 kilometers away from Lithuanian capital.
Ireland's budget carrier Ryanair is the only airline that has not moved its flights to Kaunas. Other carriers have not relocated some of their flights and will wait for air traffic in Vilnius to resume.
‘We will set up ourselves in Kaunas until 1:00 hour at night and will wait for passengers there’, said Director of Vilnius Airport Olaf Martens.
Vilnius airport was built 85 years ago and its runway needs to be reconstructed.
According to preliminary estimates, a total of 3,100 flights and 300,000 passengers will be temporarily relocated from Vilnius to Kaunas. The smaller Kaunas airport will also service 460 its own usual flights and 75,000 passengers during that period.
‘There can be no delays, we will be fined for every delay that is bigger than half an hour’, said Egidijus Jasulaitis, Deputy Chief of the company that is transporting all the necessary equipment from Vilnius to Kaunas airport.
Vilnius Airport is scheduled to reopen on Aug. 18.

The fine is 500 Euros each. So we make efforts to implement everything and at the moment we keep up the pace.
