Voškoniai airfield (Voškoniai aerodromas or Eigirgala aerodromas) was an airfield 93 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 consisted of a small runway with a medium sized platform to the northwest and a smaller one to the northeast of the runway. 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 and was recently (2014) cleared of debris. In an aeronautical sense it is abandoned however and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
