However, they assured that the situation at Vilnius Airport is normal, functioning as usual, and no direct impact exists at this time. Notams (Notices to Airmen) concerning this alert are valid until 11:30 PM local time.

The NKVC emphasized that they are continuously monitoring and analyzing the movement of navigational markings to ensure the safety of ongoing flights. Passengers traveling to Lithuania are advised to stay updated on announcements from airports and transport companies regarding any changes to flight schedules or operations. In case of a shift in the situation, authorities promise to provide updated information immediately to avoid any disruptions.
