Mar 13, 2009 (newwstodate): Lithuania's Ministry of Transportation is currently evaluating various scenarios for the country's future airport infrastructure.
Lithuania's two main international airports are Vilnius and Kaunas, in addition to a smaller third international airport at Palanga, near the Baltic Sea coast.
The five scenarios, or options, presented for the ministry's evaluation are closing down Vilnius International Airport and developing Kaunas as Lithuania's main airport, closing down Kaunas and developing Vilnius as the main airport, closing down both airports and constructing a new one to replace them both, developing both airports as complementary, or leaving both airports as it is to let the free market decide how they compete between each other and see who will take a lead in long term.
The scenarios have been developed by the Lithuanian company EKT in cooperation with the danish consulting company, COWI.
