Tatkonys airfield (possibly known as Naiviai) was an airfield 130 kilometers north 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 and used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot. It consisted of a small runway and a parking area to the north of the runway.
After Lithuanian independence in 1990 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 fairly bad state. Aerial photography shows a single shed and no other buildings on the airfield.
The airfield is uncertified and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
