The Baltic Cargo Hub at RIX Riga Airport covers 6,895m2 and is designed to meet growing demand for efficient and modern cargo services at the airport.
Located directly at the cargo apron and equipped with advanced semi-automatic material handling systems, the hub has temperature-controlled rooms for sensitive materials such as pharmaceuticals and has dedicated areas for dangerous goods, live animals and valuables.
Food and veterinary services and a Customs checkpoint will streamline cargo operations.
Pauls Calitis, Interim CEO and COO of airBaltic said: “This state-of-the-art facility will significantly increase cargo handling capacity at the Riga Airport – up to 45 000 tonnes of cargo annually – and is open to all carriers looking to expand in the Baltics. For airBaltic, it provides an opportunity to further develop our cargo services and support our role in international logistics.”
Arvids Maurans, Chairman of the Board of the Baltic Cargo Center added: “The new Baltic Cargo Hub is a forward-looking investment in smarter, faster, and more adaptable cargo operations. It has been designed with a clear focus on flexibility, efficiency, and the diverse needs of global cargo operators, our current and future partners. With a purpose-built mail sorting facility, it also plays a key role in strengthening international postal mail flows via Riga.”
