Riga Airport seeks private investors to build aircraft maintenance hangars

Riga Airport has launched a competitive selection process for private investors to develop aircraft maintenance, repair and servicing hangars on its territory, with initial applications due by 30 November 2026.

Under the proposed arrangement, investors will receive building rights and will finance, design, construct and operate the facilities and supporting infrastructure themselves.

The planned development is located in the western part of the airport, towards Skulte. Depending on the outcome of the selection process, the project could involve one or several investors.

The competition will be conducted in two stages. The first will assess applicants’ qualifications, experience and development proposals. Selected candidates will then enter a competitive dialogue to determine the land areas, technical requirements and implementation conditions.

The airport has not yet specified an investment value, the total area of the proposed facilities or a construction timetable. These will depend on the outcome of the competition.

The project forms part of Riga Airport’s strategy to expand beyond passenger and cargo operations into a broader range of aviation services, including aircraft maintenance.

The tender rules are available from the airport upon request, while applications for the first stage must be submitted by 30 November.
