On 18 December, Riga Airport opens its reconstructed VIP Centre. The
reconstruction will help bring VIP services in line with the European
VIP service standards. The newly built annexe is connected with the
existing building forming a single complex with a lobby and
administrative centre, expanding the total area to 2060 m
2.
In the new facility passengers will be able to carry out all the
necessary formalities before and after their flight. In the enlarged VIP
Centre the services will be also provided to non-Schengen passengers in
transit.
Andis Damlics, member of the Board of Riga International Airport,
said: „By accomplishing the VIP Centre reconstruction project the
airport has improved its position in the private aviation transport
market. Moreover, we are prepared for the year 2014 when Riga will be
the European Capital of Culture and for 2015 – the year of Latvia’s EU
presidency – when we will be able to welcome numerous official
delegations on the premises with high service standards.”
