14MAY2013: Air Lituanica to début Brussels, Amsterdam and Berlin from July 1
Air Lituanica (Vilnius International (VNO)) is a new Lithuanian niche carrier that is planning to begin flights to Brussels National Zaventem (BRU), Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS) and Berlin from July 1. Speaking at the Routes Europe conference, Chief Commercial Officer, Simonas Bartkus, said flights will begin once its first EMB-170 leased from Estonian Air (OV, Tallinn Ülemiste (TLL))) and ex-TRIP Linhas Aéreas (T4, Campinas Viracopos (VCP)) EMB-175 (c/n 17000017) (from lessor ECC Leasing) are delivered, with plans to add Munich Franz Josef Strauss International (MUC), Prague Vaclav Havel Ruzyne (PRG) and Moscow Sheremetyevo International (SVO) thereafter. In the long term, Air Lituanica, using a fleet of 5 aircraft, plans to connecting Vilnius International (VNO) with points in western Europe, Scandinavia, Russia and the CIS with small jets on high frequency rotations and with a two-class product to attract corporate traffic. Potential plans may include using smaller aircraft orders to serve thin business routes, especially to Scandinavia, Lithuania’s biggest trading partner. Bartkus said the airline is keen to partner airlines not currently represented in Lithuania’s market, such as Air France (AF, Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG)), Air Berlin (AB, Berlin Tegel (TXL)), CSA Czech Airlines (OK, Prague Vaclav Havel Ruzyne (PRG)) and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (KL, Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS)) while Air Lituanica’s shareholders are likely to be open to the idea of investment from a bigger partner in the carrier in future.

22FEB2013: Estonian Air state aid to be probed by European Commission
Estonian Air (OV, Tallinn Ülemiste (TLL)) likely faces additional pressure after the European Commission has announced on February 20 that it would review the capital increases by the Estonian government totalling 65.5 million EUR between 2009 and 2012. According to a report by Bloomberg, the European Commission had not been notified about three capital injections for the national carrier and will be reviewing these transactions and the sale of Estonian Air's ground handling division to Tallinn Ülemiste (TLL) airport which is also government owned. The European Commission is currently also reviewing similar transactions by Slovenia and Latvia to support Adria Airways (JP, Ljubljana Joze Pucnik (LJU)) and Air Baltic (BT, Riga International (RIX)) to evaluate whether or not they would be considered illegal state aid under EU legislation.
