FBO Riga, a certified ground handling agent and the operator of a business aviation centre at Riga International Airport, and Emperor Aviation, one of the leading business aviation operators in Russia, have signed a contract for basing a Gulfstream G650 jet at the new, ultra-modern FBO Riga Business Aviation Centre at Riga International Airport in Latvia. The one-year contract was signed at EBACE 2015 in Geneva, Switzerland.

Emperor Aviation will benefit from a customized service package including parking, storage and ground handling services for the aircraft, passengers and crew at FBO Riga centre. Riga's advantageous geographical location for CIS countries and Europe will enable Emperor Aviation to operate the aircraft efficiently on behalf of its private owner.

'FBO Riga meets our key requirements and moreover it implements a customer-oriented approach, and has a full-service portfolio and flexible pricing policy. Emperor Aviation has a Maltese air operator's certificate, which enables our customers to travel across the European Union with no limits. With all this in mind Riga is the perfect base for our new Gulfstream G650', added Irakli Litanishvili.
