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.

Airport Overview
Daugavpils airport(VPI)
Daugavpils airport is a regional aerodrome serving the Daugavpils area in southeastern Latvia. The supplied airport record identifies it as a non-main airport and lists no scheduled passenger or cargo movements. Its position near Daugavpils can be relevant for local charter, ad hoc aviation and road-feeder planning, but it should not be treated as a routine cargo gateway without written confirmation of aircraft acceptance, handling availability and customs arrangements. Our service team can assess the airport first and, where necessary, route the shipment through a larger Baltic gateway.

Key Highlights
What freight teams should verify first
Limited scheduled activity
The supplied record shows zero scheduled passenger and cargo flights, so normal airline belly-capacity assumptions are unsuitable.
Pre-arranged handling
Acceptance, loading equipment, warehouse access, customs presence and operating hours must be confirmed for each movement.
Baltic gateway planning
For regular international cargo, our team will compare road-feeder options through established Baltic airports rather than promise uplift from Daugavpils airport.
Shipment suitability
Time-critical, dangerous-goods, temperature-controlled and live-animal cargo require a separate feasibility review before booking.
Cargo Facilities & Services
Facility assessment before booking
Publicly supplied data does not establish a dedicated cargo terminal or specialized warehouse capability at Daugavpils airport. Our service team will request facility confirmation instead of assuming that standard airport cargo services are available.
- Cargo acceptance: confirm whether a named ground handler can receive, screen, weigh, document and release the shipment.
- Storage: verify secure short-term storage, pallet build-up space and access arrangements; do not assume bonded or customs-controlled storage.
- Temperature control: obtain written confirmation of cool-room availability, temperature range, monitoring and contingency procedures before tendering pharmaceuticals or perishables.
- Dangerous goods: confirm trained personnel, acceptance categories, packaging checks and documentation capability before presenting any regulated article.
- Oversize and special handling: check aircraft type, cargo-door dimensions, lifting equipment and ramp restrictions for heavy, long or fragile pieces.
Routes & Transit Times
Routing must be built around confirmed uplift
- Direct uplift: any charter or ad hoc cargo movement depends on aircraft availability, operating permissions, handling arrangements and the airport’s current acceptance status.
- Gateway alternative: routine export and import cargo may be planned through a larger Baltic gateway with a road feeder to or from Daugavpils. The appropriate gateway depends on destination, commodity, airline capacity and customs design.
- Transit planning: total lead time includes trucking to the gateway, terminal cut-off, security screening, airline connection, customs release and final delivery. No fixed transit time should be promised before the booking is confirmed.
- Schedule volatility: regional airport operating windows, weather, aircraft performance, permits and limited recovery options can materially affect departure dates.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
Daugavpils-area demand profile
- Primary catchment: Daugavpils and southeastern Latvia, with road access decisions influenced by the final consignee, border formalities and the selected Baltic gateway.
- Suitable planning categories: smaller industrial consignments, machinery parts, production inputs, commercial samples and urgent replacement parts may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
- High-control cargo: pharmaceuticals, perishables, live animals, dangerous goods and high-value electronics require a confirmed specialized handling chain; they should not be tendered on an assumed local-airport service.
- Consolidation logic: lower-volume shipments will generally benefit from a planned road-feeder and airline consolidation solution rather than an unconfirmed direct movement.
Operations & Compliance
Controls that protect the booking
- Cut-off control: there is no assumed daily cargo cut-off for Daugavpils airport. Our team will obtain the actual tender, screening and documentation deadlines from the confirmed operator.
- Export documentation: prepare a commercial invoice, packing list, accurate HS classification, shipper and consignee details, transport instructions and any export-control or licensing documents applicable to the goods.
- Regulated cargo: dangerous goods require correct classification, UN information, packing, marks, labels and a shipper’s declaration where applicable. Temperature-sensitive goods require packaging qualification and a handling plan.
- Customs and security: determine in advance where export or import clearance will occur, who controls the shipment during road transfer and which party handles examination, security screening and release.
Shipping Tips
Recommended workflow for forwarders
- Send our service team the commodity, dimensions, gross weight, package count, cargo value, origin, destination and required delivery date before requesting a rate.
- Ask for an airport feasibility check covering handling, aircraft acceptance, customs location, screening, storage and road-feeder responsibility.
- Use robust, stackable export packaging with clear piece marks; provide accurate dimensions and actual weight to prevent rework at the gateway.
- Keep a confirmed alternative routing available through a larger Baltic airport, especially for production-critical, perishable or regulated cargo.
Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers for cargo planning
Do not assume routine acceptance. The supplied record lists no scheduled cargo flights, so our team must confirm the current operator, handling chain, customs process and aircraft movement before booking.
A fixed route, airline, frequency or transit time should not be promised. We will check ad hoc uplift and compare a road-feeder solution through a suitable Baltic gateway.
Only after written confirmation of the selected carrier and handler. The shipment must meet current IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, airline acceptance rules and applicable customs and security requirements.
Acceptance depends on confirmed temperature-controlled storage, transfer protection, monitoring and recovery procedures. If these cannot be documented, our team will recommend a gateway with a validated cool-chain arrangement.
Provide origin and destination, commodity, package dimensions, gross weight, pieces, Incoterms, cargo value, readiness date, required delivery date and any DG, battery, temperature or oversized-cargo details.
