Lithuania plans a new central airport for Vilnius-Kaunas

There is a growing propensity towards the concept of a new and centrally located airport to act as the main gateway in parts of Europe. Poland is the leader in this, having identified possible sites to the south of Warsaw, which could be connected multimodally to the main cities by high-speed rail.

Now, Lithuania is considering something similar, except that in its case a new airport would be situated between the capital, Vilnius, and the other main city, Kaunas.

It is a long way in the future, and if a decision is taken in its favour, considerable advance planning needs to be done in respect of transport links and terminal design.
