Klaipėda Airfield (formerly also) is a privately run aerodrome with a focus on sports aviation and charter services. It is located 7km (04miles) east of Klaipėda[2] in the western part of Lithuania, near the A1/E85 highway.

The field has two runways, parallel and adjacent: one with an asphalt concrete pavement measuring 500 x 21 metres, the other a grass surface measuring 590 x 42 metres.[2]
