Repatriation flight with stranded Lithuanians and other EU nationals started its journey from Bali to Vilnius
Today, a charter flight organized by company Kidy Tour, Ministries of Transport and Foreign Affairs and the Lithuanian Embassy in Japan took off from Denpasar Airport in Bali, Indonesia and is en route to Vilnius.
