Airfield Skrunda is an abandoned airfield just outside the town of Skrunda, 130 kilometers west-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 consists of a small runway and a taxiway to a medium sized platform to the south of the runway.

MyAirfields (formerly Latvian Airfields) lists the airfield condition as 'Average'. Because of the location and plenty of obstacles the approach is quite difficult, especially to RWY24. Runway surface is in good condition; however beware of the small trees at both ends of the RWY.
The airfield is uncertified and officially closed to all traffic.
