How the Riga to Porto route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop RIX to OPO flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.

RIX to OPO questions
Is RIX–OPO running on time right now?
Mostly on schedule. The arrival side at OPO is the weaker end, route health score 79/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from RIX to OPO?
Great-circle distance is 2,904 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 235–279 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does RIX–OPO fly?
AirBaltic runs the route with about 2 flights a week (wed, sat). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at RIX and arrival-side delay at OPO, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
