Jieznas airfield (Jieznas aerodromas) was an airfield 74 kilometers west of Vilnius.
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, with a ralatively large and a small platform to the southwest of the runway and a hangar/shed. After Lithuanian independence the airfield was abandoned.
No photos or maps of the airfield while in use have been locatedUndated aerial photography of the airfield (Google Earth) suggests the airfield and its runway remained in reasonable shape until 2014. After the shed started being used again, the runway began to be used to dump dirt however. As an airfield, it is abandoned and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
Jieznas airfield was seemingly intact in 2014 (Google Earth).
