The new 14,400 m2 terminal will increase the total area of Vilnius Airport's passenger terminals by a third and double the passenger throughput to 2,400 passengers per hour.
The construction of the new passenger terminal will be accompanied by the renovation and conversion of the old terminals, with phased expansion and modernization.
The strategic priorities of Lithuanian Airports for 2023 also include the expansion of the northern apron of Kaunas Airport, as well as an analysis of the possibilities for the expansion of Kaunas Airport's passenger terminal.
