AirBaltic
, the national airline of Latvia
and under SAS
part-ownership, opened up a second base at Vilnius
in 2004 to complement its Riga
operation and became the largest carrier at Vilnius, using Boeing 737
jets and Fokker F50
turboprops. At one point, airBaltic operated to 19 destinations from Vilnius but, in 2009, the network covered only three destinations served by two aircraft based at Vilnius.
Another carrier with a base at the airport is Aurela
Airlines with a fleet of two Boeing 737
and two Boeing 757
jets, specialising in business charter operations and holiday charter flights to African, Asian, and European resort destinations.
Vilnius International Airport is the main hub for Aurela
, Small Planet Airlines, and Aviavilsa
and secondary hub for Wizz Air
and Skyways Express
. It used to be a main hub for Star1 Airlines
until their end of operations in September 2010. And it used to be a secondary hub for airBaltic
and Estonian Air
until they closed the bases in Vilnius.
The airport is notable for its 1950s arrivals terminal building. It is a standard Soviet airport terminal design, originally intended for an airport with up to 20 aircraft movements per day. On the outside, it is decorated with sculptures of soldiers, workers and aviators, while inside walls and ceilings feature wreaths, bay leaves and stars, and until recently, the Soviet hammer and sickle, typical decor for Soviet public buildings of early post-war years.
In November 2007, the new 17000 m² (20,331.8 sq yd) terminal building was opened for operations which improved the capacity and facilities of the airport and complies with the requirements of the Schengen agreement
. The passenger throughput of the terminal increased, passenger service quality was improved and more stringent aviation security measures were implemented. The new area of the renovated passenger terminal now reaches 37462 m² (44,804.2 sq yd). It is equipped with 6 passenger boarding bridges, modern passenger check-in
equipment, travel value & duty free shops were opened as well as business lounge and VIP Lounge.
Scandinavian Airlines Flight 2748
, a de Havilland Canada
Dash-8-400 (LN-RDS) with 48 passengers and 4 crew members, took off from Copenhagen Airport
on 12 September 2007. It was heading to Palanga
, Lithuania
, but was diverted to Vilnius Airport (better suited for an emergency landing) when landing gear problems were discovered before landing. Upon touchdown, the right landing gear collapsed. All passengers and crew were evacuated safely. The local officials at the Vilnius International Airport noted that this was the most serious incident in recent years.
