Jan 15, 2021 (newstodate):  The international tender opened in November 2020 for the area dedicated by Riga Airport to the construction of an air cargo service and logistics center has now been closed.
   According to an airport source, the tender has attracted several responses, and a result will be publicly announced within the coming weeks.
   The airport is offering investors an opportunity to acquire building rights for 30 years to a plot of land in an area of 1.5 hectares in the northern part of the Airport territory as part of the RIX Cargo City.
   The investor is required to build an air cargo handling and logistics center with an area of no less than 4,000 sq m and related infrastructure, providing handling of a minimum of 5,000 tonnes of cargo per year.  
   However, the capacity of the plot also allows for a larger area of construction of up to 9,000 sq m.

   The plot of land offered to investors is located next to the airport’s new cargo handling apron that launched operations by October 2020.
