18. 3. Airpark
The Area of the planned Airpark shall be 240 ha. The territory has nearly 3-kilometer-long border with the territory of Kaunas Airport enabling direct access to aircrafts and eliminating custom clearance procedures.

This neighbourhood offers further exceptional possibilities for the FEZ investors. Air and road modes are perfectly integrated in the Airpark territory. Such territory is particularly attractive for airline depots, aircraft service companies, aviation industries (aircraft assembly, testing, and sales), as they can have access to the runway and concurrently enjoy tax incentives and other privileges offered by the FEZ, e.g. “Free Territory” status.
