Tamer Cigeroglu, Operation Director of ATU Duty Free Latvia spoke on challenges for the sustainability and competitiveness of duty-free and travel retail businesses in today's uncertain times.

Members were introduced to Riga Airport City concept - a new mixed-use development at Riga Airport (RIX): the leading aviation hub for the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The mixed-use vision for the 24-ha site includes an airport hotel, offices, and retail; along with services for passengers, cargo handlers, and the local community. When finished in 2026, Rail Baltica will offer comfortable connections from Riga Airport to Tallinn and Vilnius in less than 2 hours.
