Liepaja International Airport is one of the three most notable airports in all of Latvia, along with Riga International and Ventspils Airport. Car hire at Liepaja Airport is an easy way to get access to the city of Liepaja or the Baltic coast which is also very near to the airport.

The airport was once a soviet anti-air defence base and it shot down an American plane in 1950. Now the airport has status as an international airport and offers seasonal flights to Riga and has international destinations like Hamburg and Copenhagen. The only air carrier available is AirBaltic.

Located about 210kms to the north of Riga, the capital Liepaja is an important economic centre. It is home to one of the area’s largest ice-free ports and the city lies on the important channel which connects Liepaja lake to the Baltic Sea.

Liepaja has about 85,000 inhabitants and is a planned city which was made to resemble a moth. It became a city in 1625 and has been a bustling port town for hundreds of years.

This charming coastal town also has famous destinations such as Libava fortress which was once one of the Russian Empires most expensive fortress with eight cannon batteries designed to protect the city from the Germans. There is also the Jurmala Park which offers an array of open air concerts and over 70kms of lush forest to enjoy. All of this can be easily accessed with car rental at Liepaja Airport.
