International Airport Review - Marius Gelžinis
In the most recent instalment of International Airport Review’s exclusive series, Marius Gelžinis, CEO of Lithuanian Airports, is optimistic of the sector’s recovery post-COVID-19 as he evaluates the balance of passengers’ needs and desire to travel, while keeping safety as the highest priority.
Without a doubt, 2020 was a period of the greatest challenges in the history of aviation. In 2020, 1.8 million people travelled through all three Lithuanian Airports – Vilnius Airport (VNO), Kaunas Airport (KUN) and Palanga Airport (PLQ) – which is 72 per cent less compared to 2019, and 30 thousand flights were served at the airports, which is 52 per cent less compared to 2019.
