Dainius Ciuplys, head of Vilnius Airport, says the construction of the new terminal is one of the stages of the airport's reconstruction.
"Vilnius Airport has already reached its capacity limit as we are serving more and more passengers with every year, therefore, expansion is necessary and is very important. The new terminal will expand the airport's operations and technological capabilities," Ciuplys said.
The contractor will be picked by the middle of 2020, and the terminal will be built by the second half of 2022, Lietuvos Oro Uostai (Lithuanian Airports), the airport operator in Lithuania, says.
