Upon the reconstruction of the former Patrol service building, the new VIP Lounge was built in a mere 4 months. An area of approximately 400 m2 houses an Aviation security check zone, customs and State Border Guard service and baggage storage facilities, as well as 3 customer lounges suitable for work and meetings, a bar and a kitchen.
“Vilnius International Airport team, in cooperation with its partners, has devoted remarkable efforts to build and to equip this VIP Lounge prior to the significant date for Lithuania – by 1 July 2013, when the country will be visited by a number of important guests. With two operating VIP Lounges at the airport we will be able to provide services to a significantly higher number of arriving and departing VIP guests”, said VIA Director General Gediminas Almantas.
The new VIP Lounge shall service more than 50, while the old VIP Lounge – up to 50 guests.
According to VIA Director General, the major advantage of the new VIP Lounge is the possibility to provide services to the Schengen area passengers and to non-Schengen area passengers at once. The new VIP Lounge service provision to customers shall commence as of 3 July.
The airport’s VIP Lounge construction project for the most part was financed through the State budget and reached the amount of 3.016 m litas. The Contractor of the construction is AB Panevėžio statybos trestas, while the project and the interior of the lounge were developed by UAB Archidelta.
