Location

Liepāja, Latvia

Liepāja International Airport (IATA: LPX, ICAO: EVLA) is a small regional airport serving the city of Liepāja, Latvia's third-largest city, located on the country's western coast along the Baltic Sea. It handles limited scheduled and charter passenger traffic, with seasonal connections to destinations in Europe. The airport has historical roots as a Soviet-era military airfield and has since been converted to civil aviation use. Its runway and infrastructure have been upgraded over the years with European Union funding to support commercial operations. Due to its modest size, the airport sees relatively low annual passenger volumes compared to Riga International Airport, the country's main aviation hub.
