Lube air field name was an airfield in the north of the Kurzeme region, 107 kilometers northwest of Riga, Latvia.
The airfield was built by the Soviet Union in the late 1980s. It was used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot. It consisted of a small runway and a single medium sized platform and hangar-like building to the southeast of the runway.
No photos of the airfield while in use have been located
In 2010 Latvian Airfields listed the airfield as 'in a generally good condition'. It is owned by the local municipality. The airfield is uncertified and officially closed to all traffic. Otherwise the airfield appeared to be relatively intact.
