A NEW air link between Scotland and Lithuania will be launched in March with twice-weekly flights between Edinburgh and Vilnius.

Lithuanian airline Star1 starts the summer service on 28 March. Edinburgh airport managing director Gordon Dewar said: "Lithuania is becoming an increasingly popular destination, but has previously not been easy to get to from Scotland."
