Lithuania shuts airport after balloons fly in illicit cigarettes
October 23, 2025
|The Guardian
Dozens of balloons used by smugglers to transport cigarettes from Belarus into Lithuania forced the temporary closure of Vilnius airport overnight.
The Lithuanian capital’s airport was closed from 11pm local time on Tuesday to 6.30am yesterday. Smugglers use the balloons to send Belarusian cigarettes into the European Union, where tobacco products are more expensive.
The head of Lithuania’s national crisis management centre, Vilmantas Vitkauskas, described the latest balloon incursion as “the most intense this year”. The decision to suspend flights was made “to ensure the safety of civil aviation”, he said.
