Šaukotas air field was an airfield 155 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 taxiways to a fairly large platform to the west of the runway.
After Lithuanian independence the airfield was abandoned.


No photos of the airfield while in use have been located


From aerial photography on Google Earth it is currently not possible to jugde the airfield's state.
Snow was covering most of the airfield.
The airfield is uncertified and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
