AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

airBaltic Crisis & Restructuring: Latvia’s national carrier says its situation is “very serious” after an engine problem left multiple jets grounded; its supervisory board approved a plan to cut the A220-300 fleet from 54 to about 36 by year-end and seek €325m emergency financing, with a key bondholder vote due 17 August. Riga Airport Customs Crackdown: Customs checks at Riga Airport show rising offences—more cigarette and alcohol smuggling over limits, more drug attempts (26 so far this year), and growing cases of illegal “sleeping pills” imports from Egypt and Turkey. Baltic Security Drones: NATO Baltic Air Policing jets shot down a foreign drone entering Latvian airspace near Balvi, with alerts earlier than 04:00; officials link the incident to Russian electronic warfare. Tourism Demand Signals: Estonia reports accommodation stays up 4% in the first half of 2026, with 3.04m overnight stays—foreign nights up 7%. Local Travel Life: A ManaBalss.lv petition asks to scrap MPs’ transport and rent allowances, while Riga’s student public transport card application is open on eRiga.lv (deadline 25 August). Visa Update for Travelers: EU confirms visa-free entry for citizens of Mauritius and Seychelles for up to 90 days in the Schengen area.
