Litcargus’ Post

Welcome aboard SkyUp Airlines! ✈ Yesterday marked a thrilling milestone at Kaunas Airport as we proudly offered ground handling services for the very first SkyUp flight to Heraklion. This summer, adventure-seekers and vacationers alike can enjoy even more convenient travel to the stunning shores of Crete from Kaunas. Huge thanks to our dedicated Litcargus team for their meticulous preparation – the sky's the limit! #newroute #kaunas #airport

We swapped airplanes ✈ for cars 🚘 on a radiant Saturday! As many as 6 Litcargus crews participated in the tenth "Women's Rally”. The largest #motorsports event in Lithuania, the "Women's Rally," has been organized since 2015. It is the most massive event of its kind, with no equivalent in Lithuania, and is intended only for #women. Talk about the ultimate #teambuilding adventure - it was an unforgettable thrill ride!

We completed the month-long walking challenge! 🏆 Twelve teams vied to accumulate the most steps, and the efforts of the top three teams were transformed by Litcargus into support for the chosen #charities of the employees. Litcargus HR Director Asta Jurėnaitė, and one of the most enthusiastic participants, shared her thoughts: "Our team was determined to amass as many steps as possible to make a significant contribution to our chosen charity. The majority of our team members averaged over 10 kilometers per day." Setting an example, we encourage everyone to embrace the #walking challenge—an excellent way to usher in the spring season! 💚 #Litcargus #Challenge 📷 There are plenty ways to collect steps - and Asta never fails in finding the most extravagant ones! 😎

Celebrating the results of 3️⃣ 0️⃣ years of hard work! ✈ Meet Vidmantas Vaškys, the founder of Litcargus, Lithuania's first private #aircraft ground handling company 🇱🇹. Vidmantas recounts: "In 1993, Lufthansa approached us to establish a cargo service structure meeting Western standard, which simply did not exist in Lithuania. This led to the birth of Litcargus, now boasting over 30 years of history." Currently, Litcargus handles more than 30,000 #flights and serves 3.5 million passengers annually in Lithuania. "Over the company's 30 years, an entire generation of employees has transitioned. We have many excellent young individuals gaining experience from our seasoned employees." Vidmantas emphasizes: "If you're passionate about #aviation, stay committed. With dedication, all challenges can be overcome, and goals can be achieved." We can only agree! 📸 Vidmantas Vaškys at the apron of Vilnius airport, by the aircraft of Lufthansa - the airlines that marked the beginning of Litcargus.

 Starting today, Aegean Airlines launches regular flights from #Vilnius 🇱🇹 to #Athens 🇬🇷 ! Litcargus will be providing ground handling services for these airlines at Vilnius Airport. We are delighted to embark on this new partnership! #Litcargus #Newroute

"I vividly recall the day I was appointed as a shift manager for cargo and baggage handlers. I distinctly felt a sense of being truly needed and valued within the company," shares Vitalij Monkevič, who currently has been promoted to training instructor. Vitalij's career at Litcargus has been earned through years of dedicated and sincere effort—20 years, to be precise. Reflecting on his journey, Vitalij remarks, "To those seeking quick results, I would advise against straying from the path of continuous improvement. Each experience gained holds value, and attaining professionalism requires time and patience." "I take great pride in being part of the Litcargus team," Vitalij says with a smile. Vitalij, we're fortunate to have dedicated individuals like you on board! #Litcargus #Aviation #career

Yesterday, the impressive scene on the apron was a delight to our eyes ✈ Litcargus team had the privilege of providing #groundhandling service to major delegations who attended the Three Seas Summit in Vilnius, Lithuania. We are grateful for the trust we have gained. #Litcargus #Team #ThreeSeas

Jetway, jetwalk, airgate, jetty, gangway, aerobridge/airbridge, finger, skybridge, airtube. All these terms refer to the same thing: the Passenger Boarding Bridge (PBB). This bridge enables passengers to board and disembark from a #plane efficiently, so it means greater comfort while traveling. For Litcargus ramp agents, bringing the passenger boarding bridge to the parked plane is a responsible task that requires experience and attention. Sometimes, you must signal to the #pilots to ensure that the aircraft is parked at the correct point. In addition to various sensors, the PBB features an external video surveillance camera that shows how the wheels of the bridge and the entire structure move. The image from this camera is oriented in the opposite direction of the bridge's movement. It takes time for a new employee to become accustomed to this view and to smoothly operate the bridge. We are continuously learning to make your travels as comfortable as possible ✈ #litcargus #aviation #airports 📷 Meda Mikalajūnaitė

What's the beekeeper's 🐝 deal out there on the airport apron?   Well, nothing much besides wrangling a nest of twisted hornets off the Litcargus equipment! On the apron, especially in the warm season, it's not just hornets making their homes. Various #birds see it as the perfect landing spot. While going about our work on the platform each day, we've come across more than a few flocks of ducks (seems like on scorching days, the asphalt of the platform glimmers like water!), and we've even spotted a beautiful Eurasian coot hiding under a car's wheels. We've noticed hedgehogs, foxes 🦊, hares 🐰 , and cats 🐱 scurrying about their business too. These animals popping up pose a direct threat to both flight #safety and the #aircraft's technical condition. There's a dedicated employee who's constantly cruising around the apron in his car. One of his tasks is to scare off stray animals with sound signals (though, of course, the hornets don’t pay him much mind—less than an hour after the beekeeper's visit, their homes have already been rebuilt). We're rolling up our sleeves this spring as well—for your safety, we'll be chasing not only plane tails but also the fluffy ones 🐈 . #Litcargus #Airports
