Palonai air field was an airfield 145 kilometers northwest of Vilnius, Lithuania.
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 north of the runway.
After Lithuanian independence the airfield was abandoned.


No photos of the airfield while in use have been located


From what can be seen in Google Earth the runway is in a reasonable state.
Aerial photography does not show sheds or other buildings on the airfield.
The airfield is uncertified and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
