In January, we have reached an agreement with “Invega” on an additional EUR 1 million 18 thousand loan and further increased it by EUR 387 thousand. The total amount of loans for refunding travelers received from “Invega” is EUR 2 mln. 404 thousand. To the date we have already returned EUR 8.4 mln. group-wide and until the end of February all our travelers will be refunded”, says Audronė Keinytė, Head of “Novaturas” Group.
In the beginning of February, the Company has resumed flights to Tenerife. From the middle of February flights are also scheduled to Egypt, holiday destinations list is also supplemented with holiday offers in the United Arab Emirates and Maldives. If the epidemiological situation and conditions are favorable, in the middle of spring the Company is planning to offer travelers holiday packages to Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria and other popular holiday destinations.
