Runway: 04/22 - 400x20meters/0000feet - concrete

Jurbarkas-Giedriai airfield was an airfield 170 kilometers west-northwest of Vilnius.
It should not be confused with the current Jurbarkas airfield (ICAO: EYJB), located just south of Jurbarkas.
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 fairly small platform to the east of the runway.
After Lithuanian independence the airfield was abandoned.

Aerial photography of the airfield from 2006 (Google Earth) suggests the runway is in a good shape.
It is abandoned however, and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
