FBO Riga reaches three-year anniversary
In 2017 FBO Riga handled more than 4,000 passengers, and aims to build on this by making every passenger feel at home in Latvia.
FBO Riga became the first FBO in the Baltic states to receive IS-BAH certification in November 2017.

The FBO Riga business aviation centre is celebrating its third anniversary, having opened its doors at Riga International airport in September 2015.

Co-owner Roman Starkov says: “FBO Riga is a unique project both in terms of architecture and the quality of service. We have put our soul into it, striving to create an exceptional atmosphere for every client to feel as comfortable as they do at home. The hangar equipment and infrastructure are recognised as the most advanced in Eastern Europe. We are very proud of our customers' feedback but we always raise the bar even higher to exceed their expectations.”

The aviation complex includes a terminal, a 8,400 sq m hangar, an apron with aircraft parking places and a helipad. The hangar is fully equipped for the storage and maintenance of business aircraft and can accommodate up to five BBJs or nine G550s.

Co-owner Leonid Gorodnitski adds: “An individual approach, honesty and transparency are the keys to strong long-term relationships with customers. We will continue to evolve for the benefit of our customers and partners and to ensure exceptional service whether it is flight preparation, a business meeting at the terminal, a helicopter transfer or the delivery of a passenger's favourite dish on board an aircraft.”
