“We are expanding Lithuania’s aviation map. This direct connection with one of the key hubs in the Middle East opens up new opportunities for tourism and business alike. It also allows passengers to reach hundreds of other global destinations more quickly and conveniently,” said Lithuania’s Minister of Transport and Communications, Eugenijus Sabutis.
The direct flight between Vilnius and Dubai will take just over six hours. Flydubai will operate the route using modern Boeing 737 aircraft, offering both Economy and Business Class options. Tickets are already available for purchase on the airline’s official website.
“The planned launch of flydubai at the end of 2025 marks another important step in consistently improving air connectivity in Lithuania. The airline offers a high-quality travel experience, and when flying through Dubai in partnership with Emirates, passengers will benefit from seamless connections to more than 200 destinations worldwide. This expansion will further strengthen Lithuania’s ties with strategically important regions – the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia,” said Simonas Bartkus, CEO of Lithuanian Airports.
Commenting on the launch of flights, Jeyhun Efendi, Divisional Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations and E-commerce at flydubai, said:
“Europe remains an important market for flydubai and we are excited to grow our network with the launch of flights to Vilnius. This new gateway into the Baltic region reflects our ongoing commitment to stimulating free flows of trade and tourism and providing a reliable and elevated travel experience. With the start of operations to Vilnius, we look forward to offering passengers more opportunities to explore Dubai, the GCC region and onwards on the flydubai network including Kenya, the Maldives, Tanzania, Thailand and Sri Lanka.”
