Location of the Baltic states (dark green) in Europe (dark grey)

This is a list of the busiest airports in the Baltic states in terms of total number of passengers, aircraft movements and freight and mail tonnes per year. The statistics includes major airports in the Baltic States with commercial regular traffic. "Aircraft movements" and "freight and mail tonnes" only include statistics for the five busiest airports in 2012, since reliable data is not available for all airports. Included are also a list of the busiest air routes to/from and between the Baltic states for 2011 and 2012; data for 2019 will be added as soon as the data becomes available.
