OREANDA-NEWS. February 04, 2010. Lithuanian low-cost carrier Star1 Airlines offers five routes from Vilnius during the summer season. The company introduces the destination of Edinburgh, continues direct flights to London and Milan, and restores seasonal flights to Dublin and Girona (Barcelona). The summer season ticket sales have already begun.

According to the head of the company Martynas Laivys, gaining momentum in the market and constantly increasing number of passengers who opt “Star1 Airlines” leads to the growth in the number of destinations offered by the company.

“Our constantly expanding market share and growing passenger flow enables “Star1 Airlines” to establish itself as the only Lithuanian low-cost airline and further develop routes and services. We believe that low fares of flights, combined with the high quality of service and individual attention to each client offers us a strong competitive position”, M. Laivys said.

“Star1 Airlines” will launch its flights to Edinburgh from 28 March on Thursdays and Sundays (as of May 7 - on Fridays and Sundays), to Girona – from May 23 on Thursdays and Sundays. Regular flights to Milan will continue on Mondays and Fridays. The company will fly to Dublin from 29 May on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Meanwhile, the British capital city of London can be reached with Star1 Airlines from 29 April six times a week – every day except Saturday, but until then – five times: on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

Fares to Edinburgh including all fees start from just 99 litas, to London and Milan – from 149 litas, while airline tickets to Girona and Dublin will cost from 199 litas.

As before, the company does not charge for luggage – one suitcase not exceeding 20 kg will be carried free of charge.

“This is particularly important to our customers who travel for business or leisure purposes. Free luggage and flight check-in are some of our advantages which bring down the costs of each traveller”, says the head of Star1 Airlines.

As planned, during the summer season “Star1 Airlines” will operate its regular and charter flights with two aircrafts.
