A report issued by the Ministry of Transport indicates that a portion of the KUN area currently falls within designated flight paths. Furthermore, authorities have clarified the jurisdictional boundaries concerning the airport. They noted that the immediate operational area of the airport is distinct from the land designated for approach beacons, and that the Lithuanian airports are responsible for overseeing areas outside the primary KUN zone, adhering to established regulatory requirements.
The Ministry stated that connecting additional territories to the (KUN – ELTA) area was a necessary measure to guarantee flight safety and facilitate the proper maintenance of the airport’s engineering infrastructure. To achieve this expansion, the procedure of land acquisition for public necessity was executed. According to the Ministry’s statement, this process involved taking over specific plots of land and establishing registered state ownership rights.
These newly acquired rights were subsequently entrusted to the National Land Service (NŽT). This systematic approach to land management ensures that the necessary buffer and operational space surrounds the critical aviation infrastructure. The integration of these surrounding areas into the managed zone supports the sustained safety standards required for the airport’s continued operation.
The actions detailed confirm the governmental commitment to expanding the secure operational area surrounding the core KUN site while maintaining clear lines of responsibility for the surrounding airspace and land parcels.
