Dec 10, 2015 (newstodate): Latvia's Riga Airport has embarked on the realization of a strategy to boost its competitive advantages along several lines of aviation business.
-We are basically working by setting up platforms for forming clusters among related Latvian businesses as well as aviation-related companies with offices in Latvia, says Arthurs Kokars, Riga Airport Director of Strategic Development.
-The method is to gather people together around the table and let them seek ways of forming cooperation and relationships in order to identify potentials for enhanced services generating fresh business at and around Riga Airport.
-The approach is clearly bottom-up, our contribution being restricted to facilitating the formation of clusters and enabling the initial steps in the process.
-So far we are working along these lines with the MRO industry, business aviation, air cargo, airline training, and aviation-related manufacturing and service industries.
-In each case stakeholders will decide on where and how far to go, and we are then ready to support them in order to grow the over-all competitive advantages of Riga Airport.
-One first result from this approach was the official opening of Riga Airport for EU/non-EU perishables transfer which will give airlines including airBaltic new opportunities for optimizing the use of their cargo capacities on flights to, from and via Riga Airport, says Mr Kokars.
