Lithuania's flights are not directly influenced by Thursday's crash of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in Ukraine, a Lithuanian Civil Aviation Administration official said on Friday.

Lithuania is geographically close to Ukraine which saw the flight MH17 crashed on Thursday in its eastern territory.

"We have no direct influence from this accident at this moment," Joris Gintilas, acting director of the administration, told Xinhua.

He said there are no Lithuanian flights passing this territory, and only one flight from Vilnius, Lithuania's capital city, to Georgia, is close to the region.

"But at this moment, we are not going to reroute these flights," he stressed.

No Lithuanian people were on board the crashed Malaysian jet, according to Gintilas.

The Boeing 777, with 298 people on board, went down on Thursday in a cornfield in eastern Ukraine. All passengers and crew died.
