The collaboration between BGS and Arkia marks the commencement of a new operational partnership, which is expected to expand the client base for Arkia within Vilnius. This development supports increased connectivity between Lithuania and Israel. Arkia initiated regular flight services connecting Vilnius and Tel Aviv in May 2026.
During the summer season, the airline plans to operate this route five times weekly. The establishment of this direct service represents a new air link into the Lithuanian market, thereby reinforcing bilateral ties between Lithuania and Israel. The strategic importance of this new connection was highlighted by BGS Group’s commercial director.
The director noted that establishing cooperation with a new airline constitutes a significant industry milestone. He stated that BGS is pleased to contribute to the successful operations of Arkia in Lithuania. Furthermore, the director emphasized that as the air transport sector continues its recovery and growth trajectory, dependable ground handling services remain a critical factor for ensuring smooth and efficient operations from the outset.
This partnership solidifies infrastructure support for Arkia’s expanding presence in Vilnius. By managing ground handling services, BGS ensures that the logistical framework is robust enough to support the increased frequency and reliability of the flights on the Vilnius-Tel Aviv corridor. The cooperation is set to benefit both the operational capabilities of the airline and the connectivity options available to travelers utilizing the Vilnius hub.
