 RIX Riga Airport Info & Guide


Riga International Airport

Where is Riga Airport?  


Riga, famous for its architecture, with the world's largest concentration of German Art Nouveau (Jugendstil), is experiencing a Renaissance as one of Europe's most beautiful cities. Riga is increasingly popular amongst Europeans drawn by its old town, its history, and its nightlife.


It is all rather remarkable, as Riga was heavily bombed in World War II, and the ruins were left to decay until Latvian independence in 1991. At that point, the government, realizing the tourism potential, initiated robust reconstruction and restoration projects. As a result, Riga's old town is one of the most complete in Europe.


Riga International Airport (IATA: RIX, ICAO: EVRA), or simply Riga Airport, is situated in the municipality of Mārupe, just west of Riga, Latvia's capital city. Plans are rumoured to be in the works for a second terminal, a rail connection and a hotel.


Riga Airport is the largest airport in the 3 Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. In 2015, Riga Airport handled 5,162,149 passengers.


Riga Airport is a hub for airBaltic, Inversija, RAF-Avia, SmartLynx and Vip Avia airlines. Other airlines serving RIX include Lufthansa, Ryanair and Wiz.


Directly connected to 80+ destinations in 30 countries, Riga Airport's top destinations are London, Moscow, Helsinki, Oslo, Stockholm, Vilnius (Lithuania), Frankfurt and Tallinn (Estonia).


Your best bet for a Riga Airport transfer is a shuttle. Details on all options are included in this guide.
