Jul 02, 2014 (newstodate): Lithuania's new carrier Air Lituanica, filling the void after the grounding of the former national carrier flyLal, has passed its first full year of operations.
The first flight by Air Lituanica was performed on June 20, 2013, opening the route between Vilnius and Brussels.
The carrier is now offering flights to Paris, Munich, Prague, Berlin, Billund and Tallinn, operating a total of some 2,000 flights per year under the current program and employing 11 pilots, 17 flight attendants and four full-time aircraft maintenance technicians.
In the fleet now are two aircraft, and plans are to expand both the aircraft fleet and the network in its second year of operation.
While readily informing the public that so far 100,000 passengers have consumed around 6,000 cups of coffee and about 600 kg of candies while the aircraft have drunk 6,500 tonnes of fuel, Air Lituanica remains exceedingly secretive about any hint of its economic performance and financial situation.
This would otherwise provide a deeper insight into the carrier's prospects for survival and growth, and the depth of the pockets supporting its operations.
