Daugavpils International Airport
Description:
Daugavpils International Airport is located 12 km northeast of the center of Daugavpils in the village of Lotsiki. At the moment, its technical infrastructure consists of buildings left over from a former Soviet air base and an airstrip. In the late 90s, passenger planes took off from here for some time and flights to Copenhagen, Riga and Liepaja operated. After a while, the airfield was closed, and its building was used as a cafe. Nowadays, all airport facilities (except the weather station) are inoperable condition, most of them are destroyed.
Since 2005, the airport development project has been looking for potential investors. Its purpose is to organize the adoption of both regional and international flights, including charter and cargo flights. Currently, work is underway to restore the former military airfield, which includes the main runway, which is 2500 meters long and 46 meters wide.
The restoration of the international airport will be a great contribution to the development of the economy, transport infrastructure and culture, as well as attract new investments not only in Daugavpils, but also in the entire region.
