Kedainiai (ICAO: EYKD), also spelled Kedaynyay,[1] is an airport in Lithuania located 45 km north of Kaunas. It has 28 large pads. Aeronautical sources list it as "civilian", so its military use has been retired.
The airport was built during the period of USSR control during World War II.
It was the base for 600 VTAP (600th Military Transport Aviation Regiment) flying Il-76 and An-12 from September 1958, until 1992 when the unit was relocated to Shadrinsk, Kurgan Oblast.[2] While in Lithunania the regiment was under command of the 3rd Guards, 12th, and 18th (4.66 - 1998) Military Transport Aviation Divisions.
