A new departure terminal at Vilnius Airport is set to open on 4 February 2025, with recent testing entering its final phase involving 1,000 volunteers on 11 January.
The simulation included six flights where participants navigated through check-in, security screening, and boarding gates, incorporating feedback mechanisms via questionnaires.
The new terminal is expected to double the airport’s passenger capacity from 1,200 to 2,400 passengers per hour, supported by technological improvements like advanced security scanning systems.
Simonas Batkus, CEO of Lithuanian Airports, shared “The terminal will double Vilnius Airport’s passenger capacity, and our goal is to ensure an exceptional passenger experience in parallel. “We are deeply grateful to all the testers who dedicated their time to contribute. “Their authentic experience and feedback will allow us to evaluate the terminal’s performance under high-demand conditions, address any issues, and implement improvements. “This is the first time in airport history we’ve involved the public in such a complex and unique project.”
