Stoniškiai air field (possibly called Rukai airfield) was an airfield 230 kilometers west-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 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


The airfield appears to be relatively intact.
As the airfield is very close to the Russian border, this may prevent it's reactivation.
