Riga International Airport (RIX) is the largest airport in the Baltic states and the main hub for airBaltic, located around 10 km south-west of central Riga. It handles several million passengers a year and serves as a key connecting point between Western Europe and the Baltics.
Riga operates from a single terminal that has been progressively expanded, with all airlines, check-in and gates under one roof and ongoing development to add capacity.
Bus route 22 connects the airport to central Riga in around 25–30 minutes, and a rail link to the city has been developed as part of the Rail Baltica project. Taxis and ride-hailing reach the centre in about 20 minutes.
Hotels at Riga Airport suit early departures and connecting passengers, with options beside the terminal offering shuttle access, parking and quick reach of the city.
