Vilnius Airport is located just 7 km from the Lithuanian capital, in the difficult-to-pronounce Naujininkai microdistrict, to the south Vilnius. The airport opened in August 1972 and was originally called Vilno-Porubanek. It is a hub for the Irish low-cost airline Ryanair, Hungarian Wizz Air, Latvian airbaltic and Lithuanian charter airline Small Planet Airlines.
In 2007, in connection with the entry of Lithuania into the Schengen zone, the airport was expanded, adding a third building to it. In the spring of 2017, Vilnius Airport was closed for the reconstruction of the runway. Six months later, the reconstruction of all rooms in the buildings began, which will last, according to the plan, until 2021. It will not affect the operation of the airport in any way.
