Important Travel Update: Charter Flights to Egypt
Temporarily Moved from Vilnius to Kaunas Airport
Due to ongoing temporary airspace restrictions over Vilnius during nighttime hours, caused by external hybrid threats in the region, Join UP! Baltic, in cooperation with Lithuanian Airports (LTOU), has made a proactive decision to temporarily relocate selected charter flights from Vilnius Airport to Kaunas Airport.
This decision has been taken to ensure flight schedule stability, protect travellers’ holiday plans, and maintain the level of service quality we are committed to.
From 17 December 2025, Join UP! Baltic charter flights, operated by SkyUp MT, to Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada (Egypt) will operate from Kaunas Airport instead of Vilnius Airport. These flights are planned to operate from Kaunas until the end of March 2026.
Why this decision was made
Recent recurring airspace closures over Vilnius Airport during night hours have caused operational disruptions that may affect flight punctuality and overall travel experience.
Unfortunately, repeated airspace closures near Vilnius Airport prevent us from guaranteeing the level of service quality we strive for. These circumstances create inconvenience for our travellers and trigger chain disruptions across the flight program. This was not an easy decision, but it is necessary to safeguard our travellers’ holidays and ensure flights operate on time. For our clients’ peace of mind, we are committed to doing everything possible to keep their travel plans unchanged.
Free transfers for travellers departing from Vilnius
Travellers who have already booked departures from Vilnius will be offered a free shuttle transfer on the route: Vilnius – Kaunas Airport – Vilnius.
- Free transfer is provided only for reservations made by 12th of December 2025.
How it works:
- Travellers will receive a notification with a registration form.
- The form must include booking number, travel dates, and contact details.
- Registration for transfers is available up to 3 days before departure (until 16:00).
- Only registered travellers will be contacted with SMS details about pick-up time and location.
Travellers are advised to recheck flight times one day before departure via their travel agent or airport websites.
Important notes:
- If travellers choose to travel to Kaunas Airport independently, transport costs are not reimbursed.
- Flight times remain unchanged, but verification is recommended.
- This change does not constitute grounds for contract termination, as the travel program and core services remain unchanged and the adjustment is due to unforeseeable circumstances beyond the organiser’s control.
