The consultant will draw up the required concession tender documentation which is planned to be launched in the middle of 2016.

“Lithuanian airports, in particular Vilnius Airport, will soon reach the limit of the passengers handled; therefore, to exploit and expand the available potential and to service even more passengers as well as to attract new airlines, we need a private investor. We are carefully preparing for a concession and looking for competent partners. We wish to have experts experienced in the management of important and large-scale projects that would assist us throughout all stages of the project,” said Eugenijus Kaziliūnas, head of Airport Network at Lithuanian Airports.
The procurement contract is expected to be trilateral – the successful tenderer will sign a contract with Lithuanian airports as well as the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Lithuania.
The Lithuanian Government’s Strategic Committee essentially agreed to the development of infrastructure and services of Lithuanian airports in the way of a concession at the end of June. The successful concessionaire would be entrusted the development of all three national airports – Vilnius, Kaunas and Palanga.
