The changes will be presented in more detail at a press conference on Monday. Lithuanian Airports emphasizes that the ongoing reconstruction of the traffic scheme of Vilnius Airport, which is directly related to the new departure terminal to be opened at the beginning of next year, leads to important and necessary changes in the approaches to the capital’s airport gates.
As previously explained, in May of this year, the so-called “Kiss and Fly” zone, where passengers are dropped off, will operate only at PC and P3 sites. Cars bringing passengers will be able to park for free for 15 minutes at the “Kiss and Fly” lots.
The construction of the new departure terminal of the airport will be completed in October 2024.
According to the plan for the transformation of the traffic scheme, it is planned to expand the area of the parking and other traffic area to 17 thousand square meters. sq. m. All the currently existing parking lots will be connected into one whole – this solution will increase the traffic capacity twice compared to the current one.
During the implementation of the project, it is planned to renew the surface sewage collection system, all surfaces, lighting, install roofs, parking places for bicycles, install charging stations for electric cars, and green the area.
During all the reconstructions, long-term multi-storey parking lots where cars can be left for a longer period of time will continue to operate without interruption at Vilnius Airport.
From June 3rd, the third, last phase of the reconstruction of the accesses will begin, which will change the movement scheme again. More details will be provided in mid-May.
In the new departure terminal being built at the Vilnius airport, the installation works of the building’s main structures were completed last year – in the stages carried out this year, the works are already taking place inside the terminal. Minister of Transport Marius Skuodis has asserted that the new terminal will allow VNO to serve twice the number of passengers.
