Kaunas Airport businesses laying off employees

Businesses rendering services in the Lithuanian airport of Kaunas are uncertain whether they will still be working in the airport in spring when the number of flights from Kaunas will reportedly increase again. The number of routes from the airport has now been reduced to five, from twenty previously, the Kauno Diena daily reports.

Ireland's budget carrier Ryanair now has only sixteen flights per week in Kaunas and all of them are mostly used by Lithuanian passangers who work abroad.

Businessmen renting premises in the airport intend to ask the airport’s administration to consider their circumstances.

They put the blame for their hardships on the Transport Ministry, which said that Kaunas would hold the niche of cheap flights. However, Ryanair moved most of its flights to Vilnius.
