Užliedžiai airfield (Užliedžiai aerodromas) was an airfield 293 kilometers west-northwest of Vilnius.
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 was different from similar airfields in having not one, but two small runways with a fairly large platform and shed to the north of the airfield. After Lithuanian independence the airfield was abandoned.
No photos or maps of the airfield while in use have been located
Aerial photography of the airfield (Google Earth) suggests the airfield is in reasonable shape, although unusable for aviation activities. A large shed was built on the north side of the 01/19 runway, with the remainder used to park trucks and cars and to dump dirt. On the 10/28 runway, piles of dirt and debris appear to be present in various places over the full length of the runway. In an aeronautical sense, the airfield is abandoned and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
