Keturvalakiai air field is an abandoned airfield 140 kilometers west-southwest 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 three small platforms interconnected by taxitracks with a single track from the center platform to the runway. After Lithuanian independence in 1990 the airfield was abandoned.


No photos of the airfield while in use have been located

Thusfar, the airfield has remained in a reasonable state. From aerial photography (Google Earth) the runway seemed to be in a usable state and the central platform appears usable although the latter appears to have some rubble and dirt piles in the southeast corner. Due to overgrown weeds the two side platforms are not accessible by aircraft. What appeared to be the foundation of a shed or hangar was located near the road entrance.


The airfield in 2010. The runway, taxitracks and platforms were still clean and (not counting the outer platforms) probably usable as well (Google Earth)
