Lithuanian Airlines has become the last Baltic airline to establish an alliance, signing a marketing deal with Finnair for flights between Vilnius and Helsinki and beyond. Unlike the recent agreements between Latvia's Air Baltic and Scandinavian Airlines System, and Estonian Air and Maersk Air, no equity stake is involved. The two will immediately increase weekly flights between the capital cities from two to five, on a code-share basis. Finnair will operate three flights with McDonnell Douglas DC-9s and Lithuanian two with Boeing 737-200s.
