Air Lituanica har stanset alle flyvninger og ombooket passasjerene til andre selskaper – DVS airBaltic. Det melder selskapet på sine nettsider.
Air Lituanica gikk på vingene den 30. juni 2013 med en innleid Embraer 170 fra Estonian Air. Denne fikk senere selskap av en Embraer 175, som visstnok var eid av det litauiske selskapet. Den første flyvningen gikk fra Litauens hovedstad Vilnius til Amsterdam. Siden kom det til flere destinasjoner,  deriblant Paris, Praha, Tallinn, København , Billund osv.
Målet med Air Lituanica var å bygge opp ett nytt nasjonalt flyselskap i Litauen etter kollapsen i FlyLAL/Lithuanian Airlines i 2009. Allerede høsten 2013 meldte de første problemene seg da  Estonian Air sa opp avtalen og trakk seg ut av samarbeidet. Selskapet har siden klart seg med sin ene Embraer 175, samt med innleide fly fra både danske Cimber AS og DAT`s litauiske  søsterselskap DOT.
