On 29 October 2015 Scandinavian airlines SAS launches a new Oslo – Vilnius route. SAS passengers will be offered four weekly flights on this route: on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.

“During the last few years economic partnership between Norway and Lithuania was rapidly developing and has gained significant momentum: currently there are over 200 Norwegian capital companies in Lithuania that employ over 11 000 people. Growing business cooperation between the two countries became major encouragement to SAS for opening a new route Oslo - Vilnius. For the start, we will offer our passengers four weekly flights, while in the future we might increase the frequency”, said Rūta Jucienė, SAS General Manager Baltic States and Russia.

At the break of this year, i.e. during the winter holidays’ season, SAS was operating direct flights between Oslo and Vilnius. This route was particularly popular among Lithuanian emigrants living and working in Norway. This became yet another reason for opening the new SAS route between these two capital cities.

SAS passengers from Vilnius will have convenient connections via Oslo to other Norwegian cities such as Bergen, Bodo, Evenes, Haugesund, Molde, Stavanger, Trondheim, Tromso, and others.

Flights between the Norwegian and Lithuanian capital cities will be operated by Boeing 737-700 offering 141 seats.

In total, Scandinavian Airlines SAS are operating 46 weekly flights between the main airports in Scandinavia and Lithuania. This includes 19 weekly flights between Vilnius and Copenhagen and 14 weekly flights between Vilnius and Stockholm, as well as 13 weekly flights between Palanga and Copenhagen. After October 29, when SAS opens a new Oslo – Vilnius route, company will be operating 50 weekly flights in Lithuania in total.
