VNO - AirportKaunas
KUN - SeaportKlaipeda
Panevezys in north-eastern Lithuania has no commercial airport, so air freight is routed via Vilnius Airport (VNO) or Kaunas Airport (KUN), the country's main freighter airport, both reached by motorway. Riga International Airport in Latvia, to the north along the Via Baltica, is another option. For sea freight, the Port of Klaipeda is the main gateway, reached by road or by rail via the national network.
Panevezys lies on the Via Baltica (E67), which links the city with Riga to the north and Kaunas and Poland to the south. The A2 motorway connects Panevezys with Vilnius. The Panevezys Free Economic Zone offers manufacturing and logistics sites, and the city is connected to the national rail network. We arrange pick-up and delivery across Panevezys and north-eastern Lithuania.
