Champion Group(Door Group) is proud to present an upcoming landmark project the design and delivery of a truly one-of-a-kind hydraulic hangar door for an aviation facility at Vilnius Airport (Kukucha), Lithuania. This project represents a bold fusion of architectural elegance and advanced engineering, combining a fully wooden structural framework with a transparent polycarbonate façade to deliver a door solution that is as visually striking as it is technically exceptional.
Measuring 16,500 × 6,700 mm, this custom hydraulic door has been designed to meet the demanding operational requirements of a modern aviation facility, while simultaneously serving as a defining architectural feature of the building. The unique combination of natural wood construction and polycarbonate glazing creates a door system unlike anything previously delivered by Champion Group setting a new benchmark for design innovation in industrial aviation door solutions across the Baltic region and Europe.
This project is a testament to Champion Group’s ability to push beyond conventional design boundaries, responding to a client’s vision for a functional aviation door that integrates seamlessly with the aesthetic character of the surrounding facility architecture. The hydraulic operation system ensures smooth, reliable, and effortless movement of the door despite its considerable dimensions, folding upwards compactly to maximize interior hangar clearance during operations.
Delivery and installation of this exceptional project are planned for Spring 2026. Champion Group’s engineering and project management teams have been closely involved from the earliest design stages, working in direct collaboration with the client and architectural consultants to translate a unique creative vision into a fully engineered, manufacturable, and operationally compliant door solution.
The project is being developed with full adherence to European standards for industrial door systems, including structural safety, wind load resistance, and operational reliability. Champion Group’s experienced installation team will oversee all on-site activities at Vilnius Airport (Kukucha), ensuring seamless integration with the facility’s structural framework and building systems, and commissioning the hydraulic system to the highest performance standards.
This project marks a significant milestone in Champion Group’s continued expansion across the Baltic states and reinforces our reputation as the region’s foremost specialist in custom-engineered aviation door solutions. The Vilnius Airport installation will stand as a landmark example of what is possible when advanced door engineering meets architectural ambition a project that will be recognized not only for its technical performance but for its outstanding contribution to the built environment of modern aviation infrastructure.
Champion Group looks forward to the successful delivery and installation of this project in Spring 2026, and to sharing the completed results with our clients, partners, and the wider industry.
