With an aim to reduce carbon emissions, the airport started large-scale construction works in July last year. The cost amounted to nearly $3.03m (€2.5m).
The second rapid-exit taxiway, built with the support of the Cohesion Fund, has been put into operation at Riga Airport. The renovation of a part of the runway at the Airport's own expense has also been completed.
