Main ANSP 

• Oro Navigacija

Other ANSPs 

• LGS (Latvian ANSP)

MET Providers 

• Lietuvos hidrometeorologijos tarnyba (Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service, LHMS)

Traffic (En route traffic zone)

  • Lithuania recorded 222K actual IFR movements in 2025, +5.1% compared to 2024 (211K).

  • Actual 2025 IFR movements were -0.5% below the plan (223K).

  • Actual 2025 IFR movements were -26.9% below the actual 2019 level (303K).


  • Lithuania recorded 496K actual service units in 2025, +8.5% compared to 2024 (457K).

  • Actual 2025 service units were +3.1% above the plan (481K).

  • Actual 2025 service units are -19.9% below the actual 2019 level (619K).

Safety (Main ANSP)

  • In 2025, Oro Navigacija achieved the planned maturity levels set out in its performance plan for all five components of the EoSM.

  • Lithuania has not included any airports in their RP4 performance plans, thus not reporting on runway incursions during the reference period.

  • The rate of separation minima infringements (SMIs) at State level was 3.61 and equal to the rate of SMIs at ANSP level. Both indicators were below the Union-wide average. Comparing to 2024, rate of SMIs has decreased slightly at State level and at ANSP level.

Environment (Member State)

  • Lithuania registered a KEA performance of 11.41 % compared to its target of 13.13% and contributed positively towards achieving the Union-wide target.

  • KEP and KES both improved in comparison with 2024. The improvement in KES shows that Lithuania has improved the element of horizontal flight efficiency that is under its control.

  • VFE of the actual trajectory was at 70.07%, which was worse than the Union-wide average.

  • No airports are included in the performance plan for monitoring.

Capacity (Member State)


  • Lithuania registered 0 minutes of average en route ATFM delay per flight during 2025, which remained 0 after the post-ops adjustment process, thus achieving the local target value of 0.03. Delays in Lithuania remained stable year-on-year.

  • The number of ATCOs in OPS was 34, being above the 2025 plan in Vilnius ACC by 2 FTE.

  • The yearly total of sector opening hours in Vilnius ACC was 43,681, showing a -1% decrease compared to 2024.

  • Vilnius ACC registered 5.07 IFR movements per one sector opening hour in 2025, being 19% above 2024 levels.

Cost-efficiency (En route/Terminal charging zone(s))


  • The en route 2025 actual unit cost of Lithuania was 53.21€2022, -4.2% lower than the determined unit cost (55.57€2022). Lithuania does not have a terminal charging zone.

  • The en route 2025 actual service units (0.50M) were +3.1% higher than the determined service units (0.48M).

  • The en route 2025 actual total costs were -0.3M€2022 (-1.3%) lower than determined. This is mainly due to lower other operating costs (-0.3M€2022, or -7.6%) and cost of capital (-0.3M€2022, or -14.0%) for Oro Navigacija, partially compensated by unplanned exceptional items (+0.5M€2022). The NSA explained that the decrease in other operating costs is attributable among others to lower utilities, office-maintenance and consultancy costs, while for cost of capital, it is due to a lower return on equity. The unplanned exceptional items reflect the one-off adjustment related to the ATCO’s early-retirement scheme.

  • Oro Navigacija costs of investments were 4.1M€2022 in 2025, -11.5% less than determined (4.7M€2022). According to the NSA, this reduction was mainly due delays in smaller investments, caused by longer procurement procedures, unsuccessful tenders due to a lack of bids, and technical or supplier-related issues.

  • The en route actual unit cost incurred by users in 2025 was 59.22€ (-2.1% below the 2025 DUC). The difference between the AUCU and the DUC is mainly driven by new and existing investments in cost exempt from cost sharing.

  • The en route regulatory result for Oro Navigacija amounted to +2.6M€, or 10.1% of the 2025 revenue. This may indicate that the airspace users are charged for costs which have not materialised in 2025.
