Jun 25, 2009 (newstodate): Lithuania's Vilnius Airport will restructure its organization and divest itself of all non-core airport activities.
The decision aimd at achieving significant cost reductions in order to manage the current situation marked by a strong decrease in air traffic and operators at the airport.
In the process, some existing departments will be closed, and other activities will be outsourced.
-We are implementing the goals set to become a modern, flexible and efficient enterprise. Upon analyzing the structure of the enterprise it was established that there were loss-making services and positions at the enterprise. We must become fast and flexible, says Tomas Vaisvila, Vilnius International Airport Director General.
Implementation of the plan will axe 180 out of currently 696 jobs at the airport, and the focus of the future organization will be on servicing departing and arriving aircraft and passengers.
