The plan also envisages targeted development of various aviation service areas, creating specialized and adapted areas for cargo handling, aircraft maintenance, business and general aviation. Riga Airport will become a modern mobility center where air, rail and road transport will meet together. The expansion of the terminal and the new south pier will provide faster and more convenient passenger service, more space, clear navigation and accessibility, including for people with special needs. The Rail Baltica high-speed railway will connect the airport with the European railway network and the center of Riga, while the reconstruction of the traffic junction and new access roads will improve the convenience of access for both passengers and employees. The development plan also envisages the development of the airport city RIX Airport City. It will be a multifunctional business, logistics and service environment with offices, hotels, leisure and entertainment facilities, which will promote business development and investment attraction in the region. Sustainability is a fundamental element of development, which is why the airport implements renewable energy, electric transport and future hydrogen technology solutions.
