The innovations are set to improve the efficiency of airport operations and reduce CO2 emissions
Riga International has recently completed the construction of its second rapid-exit taxiway, as well as the renovation of part of its runway.
The Cohesion Fund Project ‘Development of Secure and Environmentally friendly infrastructure at Riga Airport’ began last summer.
By adding an extra taxiway, the movement of aircraft to and from the runway and in the taxiing area is set to be shortened, reducing the amount of time and fuel consumed in land manoeuvres. The total cost of these works came to €2.5m (£2.1m).
