Two flights were canceled at Vilnius airport due to bad weather conditions on Monday – according to Lithuanian Airports (LTOU) media representative Tadas Vasiliauskas, planes from Riga and Istanbul did not land at this airport.
“As far as we know, two more aircraft are currently diverted to alternate airports – a flight from Corfu and Helsinki,” – lrytas.lt said T. Vasiliauskas.
It is added that this may affect aircraft planning to take off from Vilnius airport. A visit to the website of the Vilnius airport shows that the planned outbound flight to Riga, the capital of Latvia, has been canceled, and some planes took off about 20 minutes later than planned. And here, the plane carrying passengers to Amsterdam was delayed by more than an hour. However, according to the LTOU media representative, this could have happened for various reasons.
Due to the storm, aircraft that had to land at Kaunas airport also had to change their direction.
“Two flights were diverted to alternate airports – due to strong side winds, planes from Naples and Luton airports landed at Polish airports,” T. Vasiliauskas added.
At the time, there were no indications of canceled or delayed flights at Palanga airport, according to the LTOU representative to the media.
“The main recommendation for passengers at the moment is to contact the airline company from which the tickets were purchased,” T. Vasiliauskas advised passengers whose travel plans were disrupted by difficult weather conditions.
Due to the storm raging in the country, passengers who had to travel by other means of transport may have to face problems not only by plane. Here is the website of the Smiltynė crossing, it is indicated that due to bad weather conditions, ferry crossings are temporarily suspended in the Old crossing.
