Summary of capacity performance
Lituania experienced an increase in traffic from 139k flights in 2020 to 178k flights in 2021, with zero ATFM delay. However, traffic levels were still substantially below the 302k flights in 2019.
As explained by the NSA, traffic levels in 2022 have reduced significantly due to war and international sanctions.
NSA’s assessment of capacity performance
ATSP ON [SE Oro Navigacija] is meeting the value: an excellent result, as in previous RP2 years. Outlook for next years’ achievement is presented below.
CAP targets will be certainly achieved in the rest of RP3 due to regional effect into the Baltics, Poland and Finland stemming out of the war and EU sanctions.
