					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.”
