Skyways not confirmed yet

Well, so far the Skyways flights are only announced by the press agencies, this is not announced on Skyways website or the airport website (even in Lithuanian). I believe it when the flights are bookable. Things in Lithuania are a bit shaky at the moment esp. the economy (Capital of Culture practically cancelled), and the connecting flights via e.g. Frankfurt and Vienna for business travel, and Ryanair to Kaunas for the common people, seem to cover the current demand. BA withdrew from Vilnius twice already, in much better times. AirBaltic made a clever move to connect Palanga, and they now go to Riga about 7x a day. The current amount of flights should just be enough until things look better. I think it's pretty much the same number as 2003. Other airports would be very happy about this list.
