}}'''Vilnius Čiurlionis International Airport''' {{airport codes|VNO|EYVI}} ({{langx|lt|Tarptautinis Vilniaus Čiurlionio oro uostas}}) is the [[international airport|airport]] of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. It is located {{convert|5.9|km|abbr=on}} south<ref name="AIP">{{cite web |url=http://www.ead.eurocontrol.int/publicuser/protect/pu/main.jsp |title=EAD Basic |publisher=Ead.eurocontrol.int |access-date=24 May 2014 |archive-date=5 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005154221/http://www.ead.eurocontrol.int/publicuser/protect/pu/main.jsp |url-status=live }}</ref> of the city center. It is the largest of the three commercial airports in Lithuania by passenger traffic, with one runway and 5 million passengers a year.<ref name="ltou.lt"/> Vilnius International Airport serves as a base for [[airBaltic]], [[Ryanair]], and [[Wizz Air]]. The airport is managed by [[Joint-stock company|Joint Stock Company]] Lithuanian Airports under the [[Ministry of Transport and Communications (Lithuania)|Ministry of Transport and Communications]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://sumin.lrv.lt/en/structure-and-contacts/institutions-and-enterprises-under-the-regulation-of-the-ministry|title=Institutions and Enterprises under the Regulation of the Ministry|website=sumin.lrv.lt|language=lt|access-date=2017-06-08|archive-date=20 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220620015346/https://sumin.lrv.lt/en/structure-and-contacts/institutions-and-enterprises-under-the-regulation-of-the-ministry|url-status=live}}</ref> It is the [[List of the busiest airports in Europe|96th busiest airport in Europe]].

==History==
===Early years===
[[File:Otwarcie linii lotniczej Warszawa-Wilno-Ryga-Tallin (1).jpg|thumb|left|The opening of the Warsaw–Vilnius–Riga–Tallinn airline on 17 August 1932]]
The airport began operations in [[Second Polish Republic]] on 17 August 1932<ref name="vno-opening">{{cite web|title=Ekskursija po Vilniaus oro uostą: kas slypi už keleiviams uždarų durų?|url=https://kauno.diena.lt/naujienos/vilnius/miesto-pulsas/ekskursija-po-vilniaus-oro-uosta-kas-slypi-uz-keleiviams-uzdaru-duru-844787|date=5 January 2018|access-date=9 July 2023|website=Kauno Diena|archive-date=9 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230709145656/https://kauno.diena.lt/naujienos/vilnius/miesto-pulsas/ekskursija-po-vilniaus-oro-uosta-kas-slypi-uz-keleiviams-uzdaru-duru-844787|url-status=live}}</ref> as [[Wilno]]–Porubanek, Porubanek was the name of the neighbouring village which today is part of the Kirtimai district of Vilnius. Before [[World War II]], it operated the then-domestic route between Wilno (Vilnius) and Warsaw as well as international route to Riga. Since 15 April 1939, it inaugurated a new route to [[Kaunas]]. The airport was used as a military airfield during the war. The airport resumed its activity as a civil airport as of 17 July 1944.<ref name=":1">{{cite web|url=http://www.vilnius-airport.lt/en/about-us/history/|title=Vilnius International Airport – Istorija|website=vilnius-airport.lt|access-date=2017-02-04|archive-date=23 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171023055200/http://www.vilnius-airport.lt/en/about-us/history/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Recent developments===
Lithuanian Airlines (branded later as [[FlyLAL]]) was established as the Lithuanian [[flag carrier]] following independence in 1991 and inherited the Vilnius-based [[Aeroflot]] fleet of [[Tupolev Tu-134]], [[Yakovlev Yak-40]], [[Yak-42]] and [[Antonov An-24]], [[An-26]] aircraft, but rapidly replaced these Soviet-era aircraft types with modern [[Boeing 737]] and [[Boeing 757]] jets and [[Saab 340]], [[Saab 2000]] turboprops. Operations were suspended effective 17 January 2009 as a result of growing financial difficulties. With the collapse of flyLAL, the airport lost its scheduled services to Amsterdam, Budapest, Istanbul, Madrid and [[Tbilisi]]. flyLAL used to operate to Dublin, Frankfurt, London, Milan and Paris in competition with [[Aer Lingus]], [[airBaltic]] and [[Lufthansa]].{{citation needed|date=February 2017}}

[[AirBaltic]], the national airline of Latvia and under [[Scandinavian Airlines]] part-ownership, opened up a second base at Vilnius in 2004 to complement its Riga operation and became the largest carrier at Vilnius, using [[Boeing 737]] jets and [[Fokker 50]] turboprops. At one point, airBaltic operated to 19 destinations from Vilnius but, in 2009, the network covered only three destinations served by two aircraft based at Vilnius.{{citation needed|date=February 2017}}

Vilnius Airport is the main hub for Grand Cru Airlines and a base for [[Wizz Air]]. It used to be a main hub for Star1 Airlines until their end of operations in September 2010 and [[Aurela]] until Aurela had lost its flight license. It was the hub for [[Small Planet Airlines]] and [[Aviavilsa]] until both airlines folded. The airport was a secondary hub for [[airBaltic]], [[Estonian Air]] and [[Skyways Express]] until they closed the bases in Vilnius.{{citation needed|date=February 2017}}

On 30 June 2013, [[Air Lituanica]] also began its flights from the Vilnius Airport and established its base there serving several European cities. However, by 22 May 2015, the airline shut down all operations as well.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ch-aviation.com/portal/news/37506-air-lituanica-ceases-operations|title=Air Lituanica ceases operations|work=ch-aviation|access-date=8 August 2015|archive-date=21 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150721135356/http://ch-aviation.com/portal/news/37506-air-lituanica-ceases-operations|url-status=live}}</ref>

The airport was closed for 35 days from 14 July 2017 to 17 August 2017 (inclusive) for runway reconstruction work, with all flights diverted to [[Kaunas Airport]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vilnius-airport.lt/en/tips-for-passengers/runway-reconstruction/|title=Reconstruction of the runway of Vilnius Airport|publisher=Vilnius Airport|access-date=2 April 2017|archive-date=3 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171103225114/http://vilnius-airport.lt/en/tips-for-passengers/runway-reconstruction/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.seattletimes.com/business/vilnius-airport-to-be-closed-for-a-renovation-until-aug-17/|title=Vilnius Airport to be closed for a renovation until Aug. 17|work=The Seattle Times|date=13 July 2017|access-date=13 July 2017|archive-date=21 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170821174653/http://www.seattletimes.com/business/vilnius-airport-to-be-closed-for-a-renovation-until-aug-17/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2025, the airport was closed on several occasions due to helium-filled [[weather balloon]]s flying near the airport from Belarus being used to smuggle [[black market|black-market]] cigarettes into the European Union.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/world/lithuania-shuts-vilnius-airport-again-due-weather-balloons-2025-10-30/|date=2025-10-30|title=Lithuania shuts Vilnius airport again due to weather balloons

==Terminal==
[[File:Vilnius International Airport.jpg|thumb|left|Vilnius International Airport terminal building]]
[[File:Vilnius_Airport_main_entrance.jpg|thumb|right|Main entrance to the airport]]
The original terminal was built in 1934–1936 to a design by Józefa Mrówkowa-Ochmańska; Stanisław Połujan was the construction manager.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=Budownictwo w Wilnie międzywojennym – przewodnik chronologiczny (cz. 5) |url=http://www.wilnoteka.lt/artykul/budownictwo-w-wilnie-miedzywojennym-przewodnik-chronologiczny-cz-5 |access-date=2024-01-15 |website=Wilnoteka |language=pl}}</ref> The three-story building was designed in modernist style, and had a restaurant with a terrace, a hotel for passengers, a newspaper kiosk, a customs post, a police station and a post office.<ref name=":2" /> The building was criticized for its overly luxurious interior design and size, which was unsuitable for the small, nascent civilian air traffic in Vilnius.<ref name=":2" />

The construction of the current airport building started in 1949 and completed in 1954.<ref name=":1" /> It features a standard 1950s Soviet airport terminal design, originally intended for an airport with up to 20 aircraft movements per day. On the outside, it is decorated with sculptures of soldiers, workers and aviators, while inside walls and ceilings feature wreaths, bay leaves and stars, and until the early 1990s, the Soviet hammer and sickle, typical decor for Soviet public buildings of early post-war years.{{citation needed|date=February 2017}}

A new departure terminal, connected with the old building, was built in 1993.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ivilnius.com/learn/how-to-arrive/by-plane/|title=By plane {{!}} How to arrive |website=iVilnius – Vilnius city guide|access-date=2017-02-04|archive-date=5 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170205013437/http://www.ivilnius.com/learn/how-to-arrive/by-plane/|url-status=live}}</ref> Since then, the old building has been used as the arrival terminal only.<ref name=":1" />

In November 2007, the new {{convert|1,000|m2|4=0|abbr=on}} terminal building was opened for operations which improved the capacity and facilities of the airport and complies with the requirements of the [[Schengen agreement]]. {{Citation needed|date=September 2015}} The passenger throughput of the terminal increased, passenger service quality was improved and more stringent aviation security measures were implemented. The new area of the renovated passenger terminal now reaches {{convert|3,462|m2|4=0|abbr=on}}. It is equipped with 6 passenger boarding bridges, modern passenger [[check-in]] equipment, new travel value and [[duty-free shops]] were opened as well as business lounge and VIP Lounge.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://sumin.lrv.lt/en/news/vilnius-airport-will-have-a-new-passenger-terminal|title=Vilnius Airport will have a new passenger terminal|website=sumin.lrv.lt|language=lt|access-date=2017-02-04|archive-date=7 April 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220407125346/https://sumin.lrv.lt/en/news/vilnius-airport-will-have-a-new-passenger-terminal|url-status=live}}</ref>

== New departure terminal ==
Construction of a new departure terminal at Vilnius Airport started in January 2023. After the completion of this {{convert|14400|m2|4=|abbr=on}} terminal, the total area of Vilnius Airport passenger terminals will increase by one third, and passenger throughput will double – from 1,200 passengers per hour to 2,400. Together with the construction of the new terminal, a redevelopment of road infrastructure is planned, including upgrades of engineering networks and a new transport scheme. The terminal was opened on 4 February 2025.<ref>{{Cite web |date=24 September 2024 |title=Vilnius Airport – New Departure Terminal |url=https://www.vilnius-airport.lt/en/before-the-flight/new-departure-terminal |access-date=24 September 2024 |website=vilnius-airport.lt}}</ref> with projected cost of 50.2 million euros.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-01-31 |title=Vilnius Airport begins construction of new €50m terminal |url=https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/1878830/vilnius-airport-begins-construction-of-new-eur50m-terminal |access-date=2023-02-02 |website=lrt.lt |language=en |archive-date=2 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230202103044/https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/1878830/vilnius-airport-begins-construction-of-new-eur50m-terminal |url-status=live }}</ref>

It was heading to [[Palanga International Airport|Palanga]], Lithuania, but was diverted to Vilnius Airport (better suited for an emergency landing) when landing gear problems were discovered before landing. Upon touchdown, the right landing gear collapsed. All passengers and crew were evacuated safely. The local officials at the Vilnius International Airport noted that this was the most serious incident in recent years. This accident, along with the Aalborg accident just days earlier, caused all SAS Dash 8 Q400 planes to be grounded until the beginning of October of that year.{{citation needed|date=June 2024}}

Upon landing, the [[Belarusian KGB]] arrested two of the passengers, opposition activist [[Roman Protasevich]] and his girlfriend [[Sofia Sapega]].
