Ventspils International Airport (VNT)

Ventspils International Airport represents Latvia's newest aviation facility, established in 2000 following extensive rehabilitation projects that began in 1997 after the airport's 1939 founding. Located 2.7 nautical miles southwest of Ventspils, the facility operates with seasonal operational hours varying between summer (0700-1900, requiring 1-hour prior notification for extensions) and winter (0600-1500 Monday-Friday, overtime by prior permission). The airport features a single runway (3/21) at 19 feet MSL elevation, primarily accommodating charter flights, cargo operations, ambulance services, and private aviation rather than scheduled passenger services. Ground transportation relies heavily on pre-arranged services, as public bus connections to Ventspils operate only several times daily with limited frequency making advance planning essential. Customs and immigration services are available upon request for international operations, though advance coordination is necessary for processing. Fuel services include both Jet fuel and appropriate grade aviation gasoline for various aircraft types. The facility serves as one of Latvia's three principal airports alongside Riga International and Liepāja International, contributing to the Baltic nation's aviation infrastructure. Seasonal charter operations typically peak during summer months when tourism demand increases for this coastal region. Weather conditions can impact operations particularly during Baltic winter months, requiring flexible scheduling and appropriate alternate airport planning. Private jet and business aviation utilize this facility for its convenient access to Ventspils port city and surrounding western Latvia region. Professional flight support services are available for aircraft operations, ground handling, and passenger services through specialized providers.
