Reconstruction of the Marupe region road infrastructure project at the Riga International Airport has recently been completed. The road connects the C-13 road going to the airport to Dzirnieku street, where FBO Riga is located.
The “Development of Infrastructure Necessary for Development of Business Activity in Marupe” project consisted of several stages and was performed with support by the European Regional Development Fund. The project ordering customer was represented by the Marupe Council.
The condition of the road infrastructure at the start of the project realization did not permit its safe and comfortable exploitation. Both private and commercial transport drivers and pedestrians suffered from inconvenience.
As part of the project re-paving of more than one kilometer of the road was performed, lighting was installed, and pathways for pedestrians and bicycle riders constructed.
The result of the project is the development of the road infrastructure located around the largest airport in the Baltic states, and an opportunity for business aviation passengers to get to FBO Riga's business aviation terminal safely and with comfort.
The Marupe Council expects that as a result not less than 17 enterprises located in the region will benefit from a positive economical effect. This development will allow for the creation of over 80 new employment positions.
Roman Starkov, co-owner of Flight Consulting Group, which comprises FBO Riga, comments: “First of all we would like to thank our customers for their understanding and trust, given to us at the time of the terminal opening; the road to FBO Riga did not satisfy to the requirements of the service level provided. But today we are finally happy to announce that the road is totally reconstructed and will not cause any more inconvenience to our passengers, and that we will be able to reconfirm the title of the best FBO in Europe. We will be delighted to see all our existing and new customers at FBO Riga.”
Besides that there is also the propspect of a reconstruction of the crossroad between Dzirnieku street and the highway leading to Riga International Airport.
