Skaudvile airfield was an airfield 190 kilometers west-northwest of Vilnius.
TThe 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 relatively large 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
Undated aerial photography of the airfield (Google Earth) suggests the runway is in reasonable shape.
It is abandoned however, and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
