of the new Lithuanian airline Air Lituanica.
“We are very pleased that
the new airline Air Lituanica has placed Prague among its five first
destinations. The initiation of regularly scheduled flights by Air Lituanica

Republic and the Lithuanian capital will guarantee long term success for the
new route,” says Jozef Sinčák, Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors and
