Jan 23, 2013 (newstodate): After another pause, SAS is to return services between Vilnius, in Lithuania, and Stockholm, Sweden.
Effective from April 1, 2013, the carrier will offer six weekly rotations on the route, bringing the number of flights between Scandinavia and Lithuania to 38 weekly rotations - including the existing 19 weekly flights between Vilnius and Copenhagen and 13 weekly flights between Palanga and Copenhagen.
Flights between Vilnius and Stockholm will be performed by Golden Air using SAAB 2000 aircraft.
SAS was the first international airline company to start regular flights from Vilnius Airport in 1992, but retreated from the Baltic markets by the start of the winter schedule 2005-2006 after failing to win a dominating ownership position in all three Baltic airlines.
From May 2009, Skyways entered the route but stopped services from March 14, 2012, as the carrier went bust, leaving Stockholm Arlanda Airport without direct air connection to Lithuania.
