Royal HaskoningDHV will focus on the specific strengths of each airport, as well as flight expansion and growing the capacity of passenger and cargo terminals.
The long-term network development study under the €824,000 contract is expected to be prepared by the end of next year.
The contract also includes an evaluation of accessibility, infrastructure, and the environmental situation.
Once completed, the study will provide a financial estimate for the long-term development period and an overview of the airports’ impact on the national economy and the usage of the land plots owned by Lithuanian Airports.
