Riga International Airport

Riga International Airport (EVRA) is a large airport in Riga, 062, Latvia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code EVRA or IATA code RIX. It sits in Europe.

Riga International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Riga International Airport sits near sea level at 36 ft.

Local operations run on Europe/Riga. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess currently tracks 2 departing and 2 arriving private-jet legs at EVRA across the next six months of operator inventory. 3 aircraft from 6 operators are based here or fly through regularly, so most empty-leg supply originates from a local fleet rather than out-of-town repositioning.

As one of the larger fields in Latvia, EVRA tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.

RIX Riga Airport is the international airport of Riga, the capital of Latvia, and the largest airport in the Baltic states with direct flights to 107 destinations as of September 2024. It is the 12th-busiest airport in post-Soviet states as well as 77th-busiest airport in Europe. It serves as a hub for airBaltic and RAF-Avia, and as one of the base airports for Ryanair and Norwegian Air Shuttle. The Latvian national carrier airBaltic is the largest carrier that serves the airport, followed by Ryanair. The airport is located in the Mārupe Municipality west of Riga, approximately 10 km from its city centre.
