Degutinė airfield is an abandoned airfield 140 kilometers west of Vilnius.
The airfield was built by the Soviet Union in the 1975-1985 timeframe. It was used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot. It consisted of a small runway, connected to two small platforms by short taxitracks. After Lithuanian independence in 1990 the airfield was abandoned.
No photos of the airfield while in use have been located
From what can be gathered from Google Earth the runway, taxitracks and platforms appear to be in a fair condition. There are no buildings at the airfield. The airfield is uncertified and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
Degutine airfield looked rather derelict in 2009 (maps.lt)
