Riga Airport Welcomes 6 Million Passengers from January to October

Preliminary data reveals that RIX Riga Airport handled 6 million passengers from January to October, marking a 5% increase compared to the same period in 2023.

In October alone, Riga Airport saw 667,000 passengers, a 7% rise from the previous year. Direct passenger numbers surpassed 531,000, up by 6% from 2023 and 8% from 2019. This upward trend in direct passengers has been consistent throughout the year, with increases of 5% from 2023 and 2% from pre-pandemic levels in 2019.

“We’re seeing strong results in direct passenger traffic, even exceeding pre-pandemic levels. This growth is fueled by Riga Airport’s extensive route network, the most comprehensive in the Baltics, catering to diverse travel needs and connecting both leisure and business destinations,” noted Laila Odiņa, Chairperson of the Board at Riga Airport.

This winter season, 11 airlines will operate direct flights from Riga, offering more than 80 destinations—a notable increase of 13 destinations over last winter. Riga Airport is projected to welcome over 7 million passengers in 2024, representing a 6% rise from 2023.

The top five destinations from Riga this year are London, Helsinki, Oslo, Stockholm, and Tallinn.

So far this year, the airport has handled 53,100 flights, with a 3% growth in passenger flights and a 2% increase in cargo flights compared to last year.
