Planes were temporarily unable to land at Vilnius Airport on Thursday due to heavy rain.

Tadas Vasiliauskas, a representative of Lietuvos oro Uostai (Lithuanian Airports, LTOU), the airport operator in Lithuania, told BNS that seven planes had to circle above Vilnius Airport.

"All these planes have already landed at the airport," Vasiliauskas told BNS on Thursday afternoon.

One plane from Tunisia was diverted to Kaunas Airport and later returned to Vilnius, he said.
