A private jet charter to Kaunas, Lithuania’s second city, offers direct access to a centre of culture, sport, and business recognised internationally for its UNESCO-listed modernist architecture. The Old Town lies between the Nemunas and Neris rivers, where historic streets now host contemporary galleries, design studios, and major cultural festivals. For private jet travellers, Kaunas combines heritage with a dynamic creative scene and world-class sporting events.
Private flights land at Kaunas International Airport (KUN), located just 14 km from the city centre and equipped with dedicated facilities for VIP and private aviation. Chauffeured transfers ensure fast, discreet access to luxury hotels, business venues, and the Zalgirio Arena, home to EuroLeague basketball.

Aircraft selection and estimated flight times
Aircraft selection: Each route displays up to five of its most frequently used aircraft models, according to the available flight records. Flights across the cities’ main airports are combined when selecting them.
Estimated flight times: Flight times are calculated estimates based on route distance, aircraft performance and recorded durations for the same aircraft model or comparable flights. Times are rounded to the nearest 5 minutes and may vary with routing and operating conditions. Flight-time calibration uses records from 2020 through October 2026.
Flight activity: sources and methodology
Activity methodology: LunaJets filters and enriches the recorded flights by matching them to airports, cities and aircraft categories, then aggregating them. Figures cover 1 January to 31 December 2025. The figures include private and business jets, VIP aircraft and turboprops. Helicopters and scheduled airline flights are excluded. The data was generated on 14 October 2026. This generation date is separate from the activity year.
Definitions: A private aviation movement is one recorded departure or arrival at an airport serving a city. A flight between Kaunas and another city counts once in Kaunas’s route total, whether arriving or departing. A return flight counts as a separate movement. A connected city is a distinct city with at least one qualifying private aviation flight to or from Kaunas during 2025. The connected-city count covers the routes included in this dataset, not just those displayed in the table.
Busiest periods: Busiest periods identify a significant seasonal concentration in recorded movements in both directions during 2025. Isolated spikes are filtered out. Year-round means no qualifying seasonal concentration was identified, although activity can vary between months. A classification requires at least 30 annual movements, 99% statistical significance and an average monthly activity rate at least 1.75 times the rest of the year. Single-month periods also require recurrence checks using January to August 2026 records.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my pet on a private jet to Kaunas?
Yes, you can bring pets on a private jet to Kaunas. Dogs, cats and ferrets are permitted entry provided they meet EU rules: your animal must be microchipped, vaccinated against rabies, and travel with either an EU Pet Passport or an official veterinary health certificate. If you are arriving from outside the EU, your pet must be declared on arrival and may be checked by border authorities at the private terminal. Certain high-risk or restricted breeds are not accepted. Because requirements can change, your LunaJets advisor will confirm the latest regulations and ensure all documents are in order before your flight.
What visa or entry requirements apply when flying private into Kaunas?
Entry rules for Kaunas are the same as for any international arrival into Lithuania and the wider Schengen area. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens may enter freely without a visa. Travellers from countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Japan or Singapore can usually visit visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Nationals of countries outside these groups must obtain a Schengen visa in advance. From 2026, visitors who currently enjoy visa-free entry will also need an ETIAS travel authorisation before travelling.
Is Kaunas a good alternative to Vilnius or other Baltic airports for private jet travel?
Absolutely. Kaunas offers a runway capable of handling large private jets, full international facilities, and a quieter environment compared to busier hubs. For clients heading to western Lithuania, or seeking efficiency and fewer crowds, it is a strong option. LunaJets will advise whether Kaunas or another airport (e.g. Vilnius) is more suited for your aircraft, destination, and schedule.
How far in advance should I book a private jet to Kaunas?
Kaunas has occasional peaks around festivals, summer travel, and regional events. It’s safest to book a few weeks ahead to ensure you get the aircraft and timing you prefer. That said, LunaJets can often organise flights even at short notice—even in Kaunas during busy times.
Are there curfews or restricted operating hours at Kaunas International (KUN)?
Yes. While Kaunas operates broadly from early morning to late night, most private-jet handling / charter office hours are between 07:00 and 23:00. Flights outside those hours are possible but will require prior coordination. LunaJets will handle any needed permissions and ensure ground services are arranged.
