Airlines have cancelled all passenger flights from Lithuania to the United Kingdom following the government's decision to temporarily suspend air travel from Britain.
“All of today's flights from Lithuanian airports to the UK have already been cancelled,” Tadas Vasiliauskas, spokesman for Lietuvos Oro Uostai (Lithuanian Airports), the operator of Lithuania's three international airports, told BNS.
“Although these flights [to the UK] are not banned, they will not take place,” he said.
This week alone, around 7,000 people could have come to Lithuania from the UK and 3,000 could have left for Britain, according to the spokesman.
