Lithuanian Airport’s head of the operations and infrastructure department Arnas Dūmanas said: “Faced with legal challenges, we kept up our preparations for the new procurement: we held a public consultation and presented major changes to the procurement documents. As a result, we were able to quickly respond and successfully implement the new procurement.”

By GlobalData“We believe that the experience gained in the construction of complex structures, including our already completed Vilnius Airport VIP terminal construction project, will significantly contribute to the successful implementation of the new terminal construction.”
Following the construction of the new passenger terminal, the total area of the airport’s terminals will grow by one-third and the passenger capacity by more than double – from 900 to 2,400 passengers per hour.
The two-floor new building will include a self-service check-in area on the ground floor, as well as public spaces, cafes, other commercial areas, and airline offices.
