Millions poured into Vilnius, but if passenger numbers increase, new airport will be needed

With the start of Vilnius Airport reconstructions, which will cost over 100 million euro, talks are already beginning about closing Vilnius Airport and constructions of a new one. Minister of Transport and Communications Rokas Masiulis believes that if passenger numbers continue rising at the rates they have so far, such a scenario could be inevitable, but it will become clear no sooner than by 2022. According to him, this is long term thinking, rather than concrete decisions.
