'''Vilnius International Airport''' is Lithuania's primary international airport. The airport is identified as one of the fastest growing airports in the small airport category in Europe.

There are 500 regular flights per week in the winter and 550 regular flights per week in the summer, the rest being charter flights. The airport served around 40 thousand flights in 2013, with 2.7 million passengers.

The (roughly) north-south runway is 2,515 kilometres long and 50 meters wide, equipped with signal lights system, ILS CAT II is available.

The airport is built on a plateau in the 7 kilometres south of Vilnius. Some several West- and North- bound planes fly over the city center after lift-off or just before landing, offering splendid views to passengers but little plane detail to spotters.
