Aukštelkiai air field was an airfield 170 kilometers northwest of Vilnius, Lithuania.
The airfield was built by order of the Lithuanian SSR (a state within the Soviet Union) Council of Ministers in the 1975-1985 timeframe.
It was used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot.
It consisted of a small runway and a platform to the west of the runway.
After Lithuanian independence the airfield was abandoned.
No photos of the airfield while in use have been located
From what can be seen in Google Earth the runway is abandoned and in a dubious state.
There appear to be no buildings left at the airfield, which is located within the CTR of Siauliai Air Base (ICAO: EYSA).
The airfield is uncertified and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
