Infrastructure I



J The Riga Air"ort gradually "lays %ore i%"ortant role in the international trans"ort) it has turned into the +iggest air"ortin the =altic countries) and it co%"lies ith the international re5uire%ents and develo"sra"idly The air"ort does not have corres"onding connections to the regional

"u+lic trans"ort syste% and railay net

∗Kistorically the Riga "ort has +een the driving force for the econo%ic develo"%ent of the region) regarding cargo turnoverthe "ort occu"ies the second "lace in the country after the ents"ils "ort In recent years the cargo turnover 7the sent andreceived cargoes increases considera+ly in the Riga "ort) +ut it does not use suDciently the "ossi+ilities of attending"assengers) hich res"ectively does not corres"ond to the "ossi+ilities of Riga as of the %etro"olis and the centre of the=altic countries
