Today, 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 m2.
