Lithuanian airports set new March record with 6.7% passenger growth

Lithuanian Airports (LTOU), operator of Vilnius, Kaunas, and Palanga airports, handled over 542,000 passengers in March 2026, marking a 6.7% increase from the previous year and establishing a new record for the month.

Growth occurred at all three airports despite disruptions to Middle East routes. Vilnius Airport saw the largest gain, with 7.8% more passengers totaling more than 377,000. Kaunas Airport recorded 4.3% growth to nearly 129,000 passengers, and Palanga Airport increased by 5.1% to around 36,000 passengers. Each facility exceeded its prior March records.

Flight operations rose 3.7% year-on-year to nearly 4,800 across the network. Vilnius led with 5.2% more flights, while Kaunas held steady and Palanga posted a slight uptick.

Lithuania’s performance outpaced neighbors, as Riga Airport declined 2% and Tallinn grew just 2%. First-quarter traffic has surpassed the 2025 record, signaling continued demand into summer.
