Feb 16, 2012 (newstodate): Will Lithuania see the emergence of a new "national" carrier in 2012?
According to media reports the mayor of Vilnius, Arturas Zuokas has again aired the intention of setting up a new Lithuanian carrier, to be named airLituanica - a name that rings close to the name of neighboring Latvia's national carrier airBaltic.
Actually, airBaltic's former CEO Bertolt Flick confirmed to newstodate in June, 2011, that preparations for launching a new Lithuanian carrier were advancing and were now targeting a launch in 2012.
Mr Zuokas is also known to be in business contact with Thorsteinn Gudnason, since 2009 working on a project to set up a Lithuanian carrier in a project named Lithuania Express in the wake of the former Lithuanian national carrier flyLAL's bankruptcy in early 2009.
