## Description

Don't look for freight at Jēkabpils Air Base: this former Soviet military airfield in the Sēlija region of south-eastern Latvia has no regular flight operations and sees only occasional general-aviation and event use. It carries no IATA or ICAO code and offers no cargo handling. Air freight for eastern Latvia routes through Riga International Airport (RIX, ~140 km), the country's only real cargo gateway.
