Latvia extends night flight ban

In Latvia, the ban on night flights along the borders with Russia and Belarus has been extended for a month. The decision to extend was made by the Civil Aviation Agency in response to concerns about airspace security and preventing violations of international agreements.

Currently, Russia and Belarus have not received permits for night flights in the zone of Latvian airspace control, which strengthens control over border breaches.

Context

The ban on night flights along the borders with Russia and Belarus was introduced in 2023 in response to increased aviation security.
