Labūnava airfield was an airfield 85 kilometers northwest 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 and a fairly large platform to the northwest of the runway. After Lithuanian independence the airfield was abandoned.
No photos or maps of the airfield while in use have been located
Aerial photography of the location of the airfield (Google Earth) shows that airfield has been ploughed under. Only scarring of the earth shows the field was not always used for agriculture.
April 2010 photo clearly shows the scarring in the land of where the former airstrip used to be (Google Earth).
