Wizz Air Expansion at Lithuanian Airports: Seven New Routes, an Additional Aircraft, and Flights from Palanga Airport

On Friday, Wizz Air, together with Lithuanian Airports, announced a significant expansion in Lithuania. Between December 2025 and June 2026, the airline will launch seven new routes and will station a third aircraft at its Vilnius base this winter. This means a broader range of flight options, more choices for passengers, and new jobs in the local market.

“The deployment of a third aircraft at our Vilnius base brings even more travel opportunities for Lithuanian passengers and underlines our long-term commitment to this market. By becoming the second-largest airline in Lithuania, we are not only offering affordable flights but also strengthening tourism and economic growth in the region,” said Andras Szabo, Wizz Air’s Commercial Manager for Central Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

The new routes will connect Vilnius and Palanga with seven new European destinations. From Vilnius, daily flights will operate to Tallinn (Estonia), four times a week to Krakow (Poland), three times a week to Tirana (Albania), and twice a week to Podgorica (Montenegro).

During the 2026 winter season, Wizz Air will operate three weekly flights from Vilnius to Nice (France), and in the summer season – twice a week. Vilnius will also be connected with Turku (Finland): three weekly flights both in winter and summer.

Palanga will gain a direct connection with Oslo (Norway): twice weekly during winter, and three times weekly in the summer season.

Tickets are already available on the airline’s website.

“We are delighted that Wizz Air is expanding its operations at Lithuanian airports. New destinations, an additional aircraft, and the resumption of operations at Palanga Airport are not only investments in the quality of Lithuania’s air connectivity but also a very positive and tangible change for the country’s travelers. Wizz Air will now become another airline operating at all three Lithuanian airports,” said Lithuanian Airports CEO Simonas Bartkus.

“Each new aircraft at our airports is excellent news – it means broader travel opportunities, greater accessibility of Lithuania, and stronger visibility on the aviation map. I am glad that these new routes will expand travel opportunities not only for residents of Vilnius but also for people living on the coast and for visitors,” said Deputy Minister of Transport Roderikas Žiobakas.

Wizz Air has been operating in Lithuania since 2005 and has already carried nearly 13 million passengers to and from the country. With the addition of new routes, the airline will offer a total of 22 routes from Vilnius, Kaunas, and Palanga to 17 countries, further strengthening its position in the Lithuanian market.
