The hub

Kaunas, a private aviation
crossroads of the continent

Kaunas is Lithuania's second-largest city and its industrial and economic backbone, home to roughly 280,000 residents in the metropolitan area. The city hosts major manufacturing, IT, and logistics operations, with companies such as Western Union, Kongsberg and various life sciences groups maintaining regional offices here. In 2022, Kaunas held the title of European Capital of Culture, cementing its position as a culturally and commercially relevant destination beyond the Baltic region's traditional focus on Vilnius.

Kaunas International Airport (EYKA/KUN) operates as Lithuania's primary business aviation gateway, distinct from the busier commercial traffic at Vilnius. Private aircraft benefit from a straightforward operational environment: no mandatory slot coordination is required for general aviation movements, customs clearance is available during operating hours with advance notice, and the airport's infrastructure is well-suited to light jets through large-cabin aircraft. The absence of noise curfew complexity — standard operating hours run 06:00 to 22:00 with extended operations by prior arrangement — makes KUN predictable for both positioning flights and time-critical charters.

Ground logistics from KUN to Kaunas city center are among the most efficient in the Baltics, with a transfer time of approximately 10 to 15 minutes. The airport's location also makes it a viable entry point for the wider Lithuanian market: Vilnius is reachable in under 90 minutes by road, Palanga resort in roughly two hours, and Druskininkai spa town in under two hours. For missions covering the Baltic triangle — Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius — Kaunas frequently serves as an efficient hub-neutral alternative, avoiding the slot pressure common at Vilnius.
