The tour operator Join UP! Baltic introduces new opportunities for travellers – from September 2025, charter flights from Palanga Airport to Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport in Egypt will be launched. This will be the first time that charter flights on this route will be operated from Palanga Airport.
The flights are planned to operate once a week from 26 September to 14 November, 2025, and the tour operator has already opened the sales to tours to Sharm el Sheikh from Palanga.
Passengers will travel on a modern Airbus A320 aircraft with 180 seats. The flights will be operated by SkyUp Airlines.
“Launching the first charter flights from Palanga Airport is a historic milestone, and it reflects Join UP! Baltic’s commitment to creating more convenient and accessible travel options for our customers. Listening to travellers’ needs is at the core of our business philosophy. We observe that travel has become an essential part of Lithuanians’ lifestyles, with many seeking opportunities to travel not just once or twice a year, but even more frequently,” says Sabina Saikovskaja, CEO of Join UP! Baltic.
“They are consistently looking for accessible and affordable travel options, with sunny destinations and good service at the forefront of their minds. By bringing travel opportunities to Western Lithuania and offering a connection to the year-round sunny destination of Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt, we are meeting these needs. We also believe that by making travel opportunities more convenient and closer to home, we will encourage more people to begin to travel, discover the joy of travel,” Sabina Saikovskaja adds.
According to Join UP! Baltic, Sharm el-Sheikh is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world, known for its beautiful beaches, the underwater world of the Red Sea and its excellent climate throughout autumn and winter.
“This flight route will not only provide travellers from Western Lithuania with a convenient access to a popular holiday destination, but also marks an important step in the history of Palanga Airport,” says Tomas Zitikis, Head of Route Development Department at Lithuanian Airports.
