Madliena

runway: 09/27 - 400x20m - asphalt

Madliena air field name was an airfield 53 kilometers southwest of Riga, Latvia.
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, taxiways and two small platforms halfway and to the south of the runway.


No photos of the airfield while in use have been located


Latvian Airfields described the airfields condition in 2010 as 'average': "(...) in a quite poor state, might not be usable at the moment. Approaches could also be better - a forest just 250 m on W-side and houses 350 m on E-side of the airfield. However the airfield itself lies on a hill, which allows higher overflying of the obstacles. Runway needs closer examination for debris."
The description was taken over by MyAirfields without updates.
The airfield is privately owned and uncertified, the latter meaning it is officially closed to all traffic. It appears to be relatively intact, although the hangar-like building at the platform is a skeleton only.
