Traffic (En route traffic zone)

  • Latvia recorded 238K actual IFR movements in 2025, +3.7% compared to 2024 (229K).

  • Actual 2025 IFR movements were -1.7% below the plan (242K).

  • Actual 2025 IFR movements were -20.2% below the actual 2019 level (298K).


  • Latvia recorded 617K actual service units in 2025, +7.0% compared to 2024 (577K).

  • Actual 2025 service units were -2.5% below the plan (633K).

  • Actual 2025 service units are -35.5% below the actual 2019 level (958K).

Safety (Main ANSP)

  • In 2025, LGS achieved the planned maturity levels set out in its performance plan for all five components of the EoSM.

  • Latvia has not included any airports in their RP4 performance plans, thus not reporting on runway incursions during the reference period.

  • The rate of separation minima infringements (SMIs) at State level was 3.15, and at ANSP level 1.57. Both indicators were below the Union-wide average. When comparing to 2024, rate of SMIs has increased at State level and decreased at ANSP level.

Environment (Member State)

  • Latvia registered a KEA performance of 7.15% compared to its target of 7.96% and contributed positively towards achieving the Union-wide target.

  • KEP and KES remained stable in comparison with 2024, with slight improvements to performance.

  • VFE of the actual trajectory was at 76.41%, which was better than the Union-wide average.

  • No airports are included in the performance plan for monitoring.

Capacity (Member State)


  • Latvia registered 0.01 minutes of average en route ATFM delay per flight during 2025, which remained 0.01 after the post-ops adjustment process, thus achieving the local target value of 0.06. Delays in Latvia increased by 0.01 minutes per flight year-on-year.

  • The number of ATCOs in OPS was 44, being below the 2025 plan in Riga ACC by -3 FTE.

  • The yearly total of sector opening hours in Riga ACC was 23,997, showing a -2% decrease compared to 2024.

  • Riga ACC registered 10.03 IFR movements per sector opening hour in 2025, +8% year-on-year.

Cost-efficiency (En route/Terminal charging zone(s))


  • The en route 2025 actual unit cost of Latvia was 39.00€2022, -4.4% lower than the determined unit cost (40.80€2022). Latvia does not have a terminal charging zone.

  • The en route 2025 actual service units (0.62M) were -2.5% lower than the determined service units (0.63M).

  • The en route 2025 actual total costs were -1.8M€2022 (-6.8%) lower than determined with all cost categories registering lower-than-planned costs, except cost of capital. This is mainly due to lower other operating costs (-0.7M€2022, or -17.5%) and staff costs (-0.6M€2022, or -4.6%) for LGS. The NSA explained that it is mainly due to lower than planned maintenance and repair costs, and staffing level.

  • LGS costs of investments were 4.6M€2022 in 2025, -7.3% less than determined (5.0M€2022). According to the NSA, the deviation is mainly due to timing effects, as some assets were commissioned later than planned, including due to acceptance and certification procedures.

  • The en route actual unit cost incurred by users in 2025 was 43.14€ (-3.3% below the 2025 DUC). The difference between the AUCU and the DUC is mainly driven by other revenues.

  • The en route regulatory result for LGS amounted to +2.4M€, or 9.7% of the 2025 revenue. This may indicate that the airspace users are charged for costs which have not materialised in 2025.
