Vilnius Airport
Vilnius International Airport is located 5.9 kilometers south of the city center and serves as a base for airBaltic, Ryanair, and Wizz Air, with over 5 million passengers per year. The airport has a single runway and is managed by Joint Stock Company Lithuanian Airports under the Ministry of Transport and Communications. It began operations in 1932 as Wilno-Porubanek and was used as a military airfield during World War II before resuming civil aviation in 1944. The airport has undergone several developments, including the establishment of Lithuanian Airlines in 1991, the opening of a base for airBaltic in 2004, and the closure of several airlines' bases. The airport has a main terminal building with a standard 1950s Soviet design and was closed for 35 days in 2017 for runway reconstruction work.learn more on wikipedia
