Focus Region: Central Europe - 1 LITHUANIA Vilnius International Airport had planned a major expansion, including the construction of a new terminal to serve increasing passenger traffic. The proposed Departures terminal would boost the airport’s operational and technological capabilities, while improving the range of non-aviation services. The airport expansion project was scheduled to start in the second half of 2020 and was expected to be completed in the second half of 2022. A contractor to undertake the construction was expected to be selected by mid-2020. The new terminal would be a two-storey building with over 14,400 m² of space. The total area of the passenger terminal was expected to increase by 33% and the passenger-handling capacity would grow from 1,200 per hour to 2,400 passengers upon completion of the project. The terminal would be situated between the existing passenger terminal and a new VIP terminal, already under construction.
