Negotiations with Ryanair on opening hub in Riga continue

BC, Riga, 25.05.2017.Print version
Riga International Airport continues negotiations with Irish low-cost airline Ryanair on opening a hub in Riga, said the airport’s board chairwoman Ilona Lice in an interview with the Latvian public radio on Thursday citing LETA.

"We continue talks on Ryanair hub," said Lice.


Asked whether the Irish airline wants to negotiate better terms than other airlines, Lice was evasive, just said that the new agreement between Riga International Airport and Irish Ryanair on ground handling services was signed two years ago, and the historical mistakes have been corrected.


"It is a good commercial agreement on good terms. (...) We will see – negotiations are rather hopeful. We are not a low-cost airport any more, however," said Lice.


Fully-owned by the Latvian state, Riga International Airport is the largest air traffic hub in the Baltic states.
