EU state sues Belarus for €200mn
Lithuania is seeking over €200 million ($227 million) in damages from Belarus over a migrant crisis that Vilnius says was deliberately orchestrated by Minsk, local news agency BNS has reported. The crisis began in 2021, when Belarus emerged as a major transit route for migrants from the Middle East attempting to reach the EU. While Poland was most heavily affected, the flow also impacted Latvia and Lithuania. Minsk has denied any involvement in facilitating illegal crossings and has accused EU states of mistreating asylum seekers. According to the outlet's report on Monday, citing Lithuania's Ministry of Justice, the claim stems from a case filed last week with the International Court of Justice (ICJ), in which Lithuania accused Belarus of having breached international obligations by failing to secure the shared border. 'The Republic of Lithuania's complaint states that the country will seek reparations, and (…) the preliminary estimated damage exceeds €200 million,' the ministry told BNS, noting that the figure reflects spending by domestic authorities between 2021 and 2023 and may be revised. Expenses cited in the complaint include the construction of physical barriers, upgrades to surveillance systems, and the deployment of an 'unprecedented' number of personnel to the border. In 2021, Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland declared states of emergency and announced plans to build barriers. Warsaw is now reportedly considering joining Lithuania's case. Lithuania's border guards have blocked 23,600 illegal entry attempts since the start of the crisis, according to BNS. A 2022 Amnesty International report accused Lithuania of employing racially biased and unlawful tactics against migrants from Africa and the Middle East. Brussels turned a blind eye to the violations, the report said. Tensions between Belarus and the EU escalated after the country's 2020 presidential election and subsequent mass protests over what the opposition claimed was widespread fraud. Minsk rejected the allegations, insisting that the unrest was instigated by the US and its European 'satellites,' as well as neighboring Ukraine. The EU has accused Belarus of engineering the migrant influx by arranging flights from countries such as Iraq and Syria and channeling migrants to the border in retaliation for Western sanctions. Minsk has accused the bloc of waging a 'hybrid war' by supporting exiled opposition figures and banned media outlets.

airBaltic launches new direct flights between Vilnius and Prague
Mantas Vrubliauskas, VP Network Management at airBaltic, said: 'For more than 20 years, Vilnius has been one of our bases, and we remain committed to strengthening connectivity from Lithuania. By expanding to more destinations, we aim to offer more convenient travel options for our passengers and continue growing our market share in the country. The launch of direct flights between Vilnius and Prague restores a long-unserved route, making travel significantly easier for the approximately 20 000 passengers annually who previously relied on connecting flights. This new service will support both leisure and business travel, while also contributing to inbound tourism and the broader economic development of Lithuania and the entire Baltic region.' This new route marks airBaltic's second connection to the Czech Republic, complementing the long-standing service between the airline's home base in Riga and Prague. During this summer season (from late March to late October), airBaltic will operate 16 direct routes from the Lithuanian capital to various destinations across Europe and beyond, while also continuing to offer direct flights from Palanga, Lithuania, to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Riga, Latvia. On flights between Vilnius and Prague, airBaltic will offer both Economy and Business Class. Business Class passengers can enjoy a comprehensive full-service package, including priority check-in and boarding, a front-of-cabin seat with a free seat for added privacy, a gourmet meal perfectly paired with a curated selection of premium beverages, and quicker disembarking upon arrival. Throughout the flight, a dedicated Business Class cabin crew ensures exceptional service. The airBaltic fleet, one of the youngest in Europe, consists of a single aircraft type – Airbus A220-300. The airline currently operates 50 of such aircraft and aims to double in size. The aircraft offers an excellent flying experience, with benefits for passengers such as wider seats, larger windows, more hand luggage space in the cabin and improved lavatories, as well as better overall performance. Furthermore, the airline offers free high-speed SpaceX Starlink internet, making it the first European airline to provide this service. The entire fleet is planned to be equipped with this service. In April 2025, airBaltic carried 410 138 passengers across all its bases, marking a 12% increase compared to April 2024. The airline operated 3 958 flights, a 5% year-on-year rise, while the load factor improved by 1.7 percentage points, reaching 77.8%. These results indicate that passenger demand for airBaltic's services continues to increase, alongside solid operational performance. In April 2025, airBaltic reached a flight regularity of 99.6%, reflecting the airline's strong operational reliability across its network. Looking back at earlier this year, in March 2025, airBaltic carried 378 228 passengers across all its bases – a 5% increase compared to the same period last year. The number of operated flights increased to 3 873, reflecting a 7% year-over-year growth. In the first quarter of 2025, airBaltic carried 994 987 passengers across all its bases, marking a 7.4% increase compared to the same period last year. These are the highest number of passengers the airline has ever recorded in the first three months of a year. Experiencing growing demand for its services, airBaltic will increase flight frequencies on 14 existing routes from the Baltics during this summer season (from late March to late October). The airline will also introduce new direct flights from Tallinn to Reykjavík (Iceland), Palma de Mallorca (Spain), and Tirana (Albania), as well as from Vilnius to Prague (the Czech Republic) and Tirana (Albania). Additionally, it will extend its seasonal service from Vilnius to Dusseldorf (Germany).
