Environment related objective
To improve the environmental performance in infrastructure.
2. Policy objective/to whom the subsidy is provided
Policy objective: Sectoral aid. The aim of the activity 3.3.1.4 "Development of Airports’ Infrastructure" of the Priority 3.3 "Development of Transport Network of European Significance and Promotion of Sustainable Transport", Operational Programme 3 is development of safe, effective, adequate air transport infrastructure for growing traffic volume.
Beneficiary of the aid is Riga International airport (RIX) which is a national airport (Category C airport according to the 2005 Airport Guidelines) with less than 5 million passengers served in 2012). The planned investment activities include improvement of the airport infrastructure to meet safety requirements according to ICAO Category II standard (airport infrastructure allowing airplanes to land and take off in bad weather and emergency situations), to enhance the environmental performance of the airport, to improve the airside and landside capacity as well as to increase the peak hour runway capacity. The total cost of the measures is currently estimated at EUR165 million. The measures will normally be implemented in 2 phases. The 1st phase will be implemented from 2007-2013 Cohesion Fund financing (the start of the works is planned in 2011) and the 2nd phase from 2014-2020 Cohesion Fund financing. The maximum aid amount is 75% of the planned investments and will mostly come from the Cohesion Fund financing.
