Mar 18, 2020 (newstodate): Starting from March 17, 2020, all international flights have been suspended at Latvia's Riga Airport.
   Home base to airBaltic, Riga Airport is now seeing some 50 aircraft parked on the tarmac and operating on a limited basis only, handling cargo and passenger flights, notably repatriation operations subject to a special permission from the Minister for Transport.
   Cargo operations are thus not comprised by the curfew, leaving Atran Airlines, member of the Volga-Dnepr Group, free to continue its weekly Boeing 737-800BCF freighter flight since May 2019 at Riga Airport, feeding via Moscow on the Group's freighter service to Hangzhou, in China.
   Riga Airport is also hoping to see the imminent return after a week's absence of the Ukrainian cargo carrier Eleron that started operations on the route between Kiev and Riga on January 17, 2020, offering 5.5 tonnes cargo capacity on a  weekly AN-26 rotation.
