"Both Wizz Air and Ryanair have contracts at Vilnius Airport, which will be effective for another three years. These contracts cannot be changed or terminated, and they are very disadvantageous to the airport," Almantas said.
Ryanair is now speaking about flights from Lithuania in general, rather than from Vilnius and Kaunas separately, saying that they want the same rates at both airports, or otherwise they will end flights from Kaunas, the CEO said.
"That would mean bankruptcy to Kaunas. They (the Irish) know it and abuse it," he said.
Almantas said that lower rates in Kaunas did not motivate Wizz Air.
"We cannot force them to fly from Kaunas," he said.
Almantas will be at the helm of a new company that will merge all three Lithuanian international airports in Vilnius, Kaunas and Palanga.
