Jun 16, 2020 (newstodate): While traffic volumes are still down at Lithuania's Vilnius Airport, construction works on a number of infrastructure projects have now started.
The main goal of the reconstruction project is to renew pavements and widen taxiways, create conditions for the taxiing of larger category aircraft and implement environmental solutions.
The construction works will be completed by the end of 2021, but will not disturb operations at the airport during the period.
During the first stages, taxiways F and E will be renovated in the western part of Vilnius Airport by the end of 2020.
In parallel, construction works on the other side of the airport will continue during this year, where the northern apron will be reconstructed and an additional taxiway will be built.
The reconstruction of the northern apron will include the installation of new asphalt pavement and concrete aircraft parking stands, parking stand markings, energy-efficient lighting, installation of new lights, and more efficient surface water drainage solutions.
During the project, a new taxiway Z will be installed to connect the new northern apron with the runway threshold to reduce the occupancy and clearance of the runway and reduce aircraft maneuvering time.
