Nida Airport (ICAO: EYND) is a small regional airport, opened in 1967, located in Nida, in the western part of Lithuania, near the Baltic Sea and Klaipėda. It was one of the first airports in western Lithuania.

The airport's infrastructure allows it to handle medium and small sized aircraft, such as the Saab 2000 and Saab 340.

In 1998-2006 the runway surface, apron and taxiways were renovated (5 million LTL from the government of Lithuania). However, works are not finished yet, vicinity falls short of standards and aerodrome is closed for all traffic except helicopters.
