The Russian carrier will initially operate five weekly flights on the route and will increase the frequency to six flights a week at a later stage, told Agne Mazeikyte, spokeswoman for Lietuvos Oro Uostai (Lithuanian Airports).
Five new routes from Lithuania have already been launched this year: Palanga-Glasgow and Kaunas-Naples by Ireland's budget airline Ryanair, Vilnius-Munich and Vilnius-Paris by Latvia's airBaltic, and Vilnius-Gothenburg by Hungary's Wizz Air.
