Major military facility of the Lithuanian Air Force and one of the air bases of the NATO Baltic Air Policing mission. The joint-use airport is also known by its historic name of Zokniai aerodrome. First used as an aerial warfare facility in 1916–1917, when the German forces built hangars for their Zeppelin airships. The concrete runways were first built during the German occupation in 1943. Following the Soviet occupation of Lithuania, the aerodrome was taken over by the Soviet forces. Following the independence restoration in 1991, the airport was soon returned to the Lithuanian Air Force. It was further modernized in 2004 when Lithuania joined NATO. It became a NATO air base, hosting the Baltic Air Policing mission, with the first NATO F-16 jet fighters from the Belgian Air Component landing on 29 March 2004. The civilian use is primarily for the aircraft maintenance and cargo transportation.
