Riga Airport calls on those passengers who currently need to travel to do so responsibly, carefully observing the epidemiological safety requirements set at the Airport and on flights, and clarifying in good time all the conditions for the entry into the country of destination.

The Airport has comprehensive epidemiological safety measures in place since last May in order to ensure that travellers who need to fly are as protected as possible from the risk of becoming infected with Covid-19. Riga Airport has received the high four-star rating for its implemented safety measures in the prestigious Skytrax aviation rating.

A study conducted at the Airport at the end of last year, in which 1010 respondents aged 18 to 65 were interviewed in a computer interview on the Internet, shows that 72% of respondents feel protected from Covid-19 risks at Riga Airport thanks to the implemented safety measures.

“Statistics show that the aviation industry is currently one of the safest modes of transport, and much more traceable than land transport or the "movement" of the virus inland. Air transport is a strictly supervised and easily traceable industry - data from Airport inspections show that almost 100% of passengers may present a negative Covid-19 test result on entry and have completed an e-certificate on Covidpass.lv; therefore, if necessary, the virus can be easily traced, if a positive case of Covid-19 is nevertheless detected. Since May, the Airport has been closely following the latest epidemiological guidelines and the recommendations of European and international aviation organizations in order to implement the most effective measures, thus contributing to limiting the spread of the virus. Riga Airport has joined the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Aviation Industry Charter for Covid-19, confirming the company's ability to work to the highest standards of epidemiological safety and to cooperate at both national and international
