AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Airport Awards: Riga International (RIX) Airport has been named Europe’s Best Airport in the 5–10 million passenger category at the ACI Europe awards in Prague, praising faster passenger processes and major recent upgrades. Road Safety for Holidaymakers: Latvia’s State Police report 81 drunk drivers caught over the Midsummer holiday period (five days), with fatal crashes and many cases exceeding 1.5 promille. Summer Travel Safety: Emergency services also faced a deadly Midsummer weekend, with seven drownings reported and hundreds of calls for incidents ranging from water accidents to burns from bonfires. Local Tourism & Culture: The Lūznava Wooden School restoration project in Rēzekne Municipality has been put on hold, delaying plans for a socially inclusive cultural tourism centre. Weather for Jāņi: Forecasts say Midsummer Night should be rain-free across Latvia, with mild temperatures and only spotty showers possible during the day. Rural Tourism Trend: Alpaca farming is growing in Latvia, with alpaca “personalities” and farm visits drawing interest as a new rural tourism draw. Transport Connections: airBaltic is extending the Vilnius–Berlin route into winter as a year-round link, with fares starting from EUR 59. Travel Planning Tip: Jet2 passengers are urged to check flight updates at least 12 hours before departure and arrive early.
