Flights were temporarily restricted at Vilnius Airport overnight from Sunday into Monday after suspected smuggling balloons were detected.
The restrictions were introduced at 01:18 in the morning, after navigation signals consistent with the presence of balloons were detected in areas posing a risk to aviation. Operations at the airport resumed at 04:00 after the airspace restrictions were lifted.
The temporary restrictions affected five flights and around 453 passengers.
Four aircraft were diverted to other airports, including two to Kaunas, while one flight was cancelled.
Passengers whose journeys were disrupted or whose flights were cancelled have been advised to contact their airlines directly.
