Daugavpils International Airport (IATA: DGP, ICAO:EVDA) is located in the the city of Daugavpils, Latvia.
Airport Overview
Daugavpils International Airport(DGP), ICAO code EVDA, is located in Daugavpils, Latvia, in the eastern part of the country. Based on the supplied airport record, it is a regional aerodrome rather than an established scheduled air-cargo gateway: the record shows zero listed airline and express operators. For international freight, our service team therefore treats Daugavpils International Airport as an operation requiring prior airport, handling and customs confirmation, not as a guaranteed origin or destination for routine palletized cargo. The surrounding Daugavpils region may nevertheless be relevant for truck-feeder planning and consolidated shipments routed through a confirmed Baltic gateway.

Key Highlights
- Not a routine cargo gateway: the supplied record lists no airline or express operators, so regular uplift should not be presumed.
- Pre-clearance is essential: airport acceptance, handling availability, customs arrangements and aircraft operating permissions require confirmation before booking.
- Road-feeder planning is central: our service team can compare direct airport handling with trucking to a confirmed Baltic air-cargo gateway.
- Shipment profile matters: dangerous goods, temperature-sensitive freight, live animals, outsized pieces and high-value cargo require separate feasibility checks.
- Schedule flexibility reduces risk: the final routing may depend on aircraft availability, handling windows, border procedures and road capacity.
Cargo Facilities & Services
Daugavpils International Airport should be handled as a facility requiring shipment-specific confirmation. Our service team will not assume the availability of a public cargo terminal, bonded warehouse, cold room, dangerous-goods store, automated sortation line or permanent customs warehouse without written confirmation from the responsible airport and handling parties.
- Airport acceptance: confirm whether the planned aircraft, cargo type, piece dimensions, gross weight and loading method can be accepted.
- Ground handling: establish the appointed handler, ramp access, cargo build-up or breakdown arrangements, equipment availability and handover responsibility.
- Customs control: verify whether export, import or transit formalities can be completed at the airport or must be performed through another approved customs location.
- Special cargo: obtain advance written acceptance for lithium batteries, dangerous goods, pharmaceuticals, perishables, live animals, valuables and cargo requiring security screening.
- Truck interface: confirm vehicle access, loading appointments, driver identification, waiting restrictions and proof-of-delivery procedures before dispatching a vehicle.
Facility capability, operating hours, security screening and customs status are operational variables. Our service team confirms these items against the actual shipment and planned movement date.
Routes & Transit Times
- Direct uplift: a direct air movement from Daugavpils International Airport is possible only if an aircraft operator, handling arrangement and regulatory permissions are confirmed for the specific shipment.
- Gateway connection: for routine international freight, our service team will normally evaluate trucking to a confirmed Baltic air-cargo gateway, followed by scheduled or charter air transport.
- Inbound distribution: import freight may require air arrival at another gateway, customs transit or clearance there, and onward road delivery to Daugavpils.
- Time drivers: actual transit depends on booking confirmation, truck positioning, border formalities, security screening, customs routing, handling cut-offs, weather and aircraft availability. No fixed transit time should be promised before confirmation.
Carrier selection, flight numbers, routings, frequencies and quoted transit times are subject to live booking confirmation. Our service team can provide a direct-airport option only after operational feasibility has been verified.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Primary hinterland: Daugavpils and the surrounding eastern Latvian commercial area, with onward road links to other Baltic and EU markets.
- General manufacturing freight: machinery components, industrial parts, electrical equipment and maintenance spares may be suitable for consolidated or time-critical road-air solutions.
- Retail and e-commerce: apparel, consumer goods and small parcels may be routed through a larger gateway when direct airport acceptance is unavailable.
- Temperature-sensitive cargo: food, biological materials and pharmaceuticals require validated packaging, a confirmed temperature-control chain and written acceptance before tender.
- High-value or urgent cargo: use controlled handover, security screening confirmation and a documented road-air custody chain rather than relying on unconfirmed local airport services.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-off control: do not use a generic airport cut-off. Confirm acceptance, screening, documentation and vehicle arrival times with the actual handler and carrier.
- Dangerous goods: provide the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, quantity, packing instruction and shipper's declaration where applicable. Lithium-battery details must be complete and consistent across all documents.
- Customs documentation: prepare a commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, export data and any licences or origin documents required for the commodity and route. Customs transit must be arranged when clearance is not performed at the airport of arrival.
- Special handling: temperature records, dry-ice declaration, live-animal documentation, phytosanitary or veterinary permits and security requirements must be agreed before tender.
The shipper remains responsible for accurate commodity classification and declarations. Our service team checks document completeness and routing feasibility, while final acceptance remains with the carrier, handler and competent authorities.
Shipping Tips
- Send the commercial invoice, packing list, dimensions, gross weight, commodity description, HS classification where available and special-handling requirements before requesting a firm routing.
- Request two plans from our service team: a direct Daugavpils International Airport feasibility check and a gateway-based road-air alternative. Compare total transit risk, not only the airfreight line item.
- Use strong export packaging with clear piece marks, accessible labels and a reliable gross-weight declaration. Confirm pallet height, stackability and loading orientation before vehicle dispatch.
- For urgent, controlled or regulated cargo, obtain written acceptance before production release. Keep contingency time for security screening, customs inspection, truck reassignment or re-routing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Daugavpils International Airport handle routine international air cargo?
Routine cargo acceptance should not be assumed. The supplied airport record lists no airline or express operators, so our service team must verify the aircraft operator, ground handler, security process, customs route and cargo acceptance before quoting a direct movement.
Should I book the airport as the final airfreight gateway?
Only after a shipment-specific feasibility check. For many regular export or import movements, our service team will also price a road connection to a confirmed Baltic air-cargo gateway and compare the complete door-to-door solution.
Can dangerous goods or lithium batteries be shipped through this airport?
Possibly, but only with prior written acceptance from the carrier and handling parties. The shipper must provide accurate classification, packing, labels, declarations and battery information before booking approval.
Where will customs clearance take place?
That depends on the confirmed routing and customs status of the operating facility. Our service team identifies whether clearance can occur at the airport, at another approved customs location or under a transit procedure before arranging the truck movement.
What information is needed for a firm quotation?
Provide origin and destination, Incoterms, commodity, pieces, dimensions, gross weight, stackability, cargo value, ready date, delivery deadline and any dangerous-goods, temperature-control, live-animal or security requirements.
