The Lithuanian department of tourism is celebrating the completion of a €19 million reconstruction project, and the re-opening of the capital’s airport, Vilnius.
The newly renovated runway and airport re-opened to flights after 35 days of work, with an official ceremony on the tarmac.
The Vilnius Airport reconstruction project has seen the replacement of old pavements, the reinforcement of foundations, the installation of new drainage and rainwater collection systems, and the reconstruction of the lighting control system.
Final restoration works, which will not affect passengers to the airport, will continue until autumn.
