## Description

EYKD is the ICAO code for Kėdainiai, a former Soviet military transport base in central Lithuania, roughly 45 km north of Kaunas. Two airlift regiments flew Il-76 and An-12 aircraft from here until 1992, when they relocated to Russia after Lithuanian independence. The field now serves general aviation, with a large hangar of privately owned light aircraft and occasional drag-racing and drifting events on the runway. It has no scheduled flights and no commercial cargo handling; for air freight, the nearest full gateway is Kaunas Airport (KUN), about 45 km south.
