AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Riga Airport Expansion: RIX has started the next stage of its major passenger terminal expansion, with construction prep beginning later this month. The project will add about 20,000 sq m of new terminal space and expand check-in, waiting, security screening and baggage areas, plus redevelop access roads and parking to handle future passenger growth. Latvia Cybersecurity: Latvia’s Consumer Rights Protection Centre (PTAC) says hackers accessed contact details via its Remote Statistical Data Retrieval System (ASDIS), affecting 697 business representatives and 34 PTAC officials (names, emails, phones). The system has been shut down while investigations continue. Latvian Travel Safety Abroad: Nepal’s Bhotekoshi flash flood response continues as Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal briefs diplomatic missions on rescue efforts and the status of foreign nationals, with the disaster described as a “Himalayan tsunami.” EU Travel Rules & Security: After the Leipzig airport drone incident, EU foreign ministers back tighter Russian travel controls, including tougher rules for Russian tourists and an entry ban for former combatants, arguing tourist visas can be misused for sabotage. Local Tourism & Culture: Jelgava Prison has reopened to visitors with guided tours after closing this summer, giving the public access to areas previously off-limits. Visa Change for Latvians: Thailand will cut visa-free stays for 60 countries from 60 days to 30 days starting Sept 15, including Latvia, though typical short trips up to 30 days should remain visa-free.
