According to Mayor of Vilnius Arturas Zuokas, the new airline will be named .airLituanica after the plane of the two American-Lithuanian pilots, Steponas Darius and Stasys Girenas who in 1933 tried to beat Charles Lindberg’s non-stop distance record across the Atlantic by flying from New York City to Kaunas. Their Lituanica was an Bellanca CH-300 Pacemaker airplane. After successfully flying 6,411 km, it crashed, 650 km from its destination, Kaunas. Both pilots were killed.
