FCC wins 96 million euro
contract
to revamp
Riga Airport

Group, heads
a consortium with
German company
Hochtief and
Latvia’s ACB.
FCC’s internationalisation strategy has
brought it most recently to Latvia. FCC, the
Citizen Services Group, has landed a 96
million euro contract to refurbish Riga Inter-
national Airport, in Latvia, in a consortium
with German company Hochtief (34%) and
Latvia’s ACB (32%).
The refurbishment work contemplates the
reconstruction of the runway and reinforce-
ment of the safety areas, which will contri-
bute to enhancing the safety of the airport
facilities. It also includes building two new
taxiways to increase the runway capacity
and rebuild two aprons.
The location of Riga Airport and the ad-
verse weather conditions in winter require
the construction of two de-icing areas and
two hangars, for vehicle washing and was-
te collection. The project also includes the
renovation of the drainage system and im-
provements to the lighting system.
