Historic Swiss military air base near Zurich.

Opened

Location
Zurich, Switzerland
Dübendorf Air Base (ICAO: LSMD) is a military airfield located in the municipality of Dübendorf, in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland. It has served as a key installation of the Swiss Air Force for over a century and is one of the oldest active military airfields in Europe. The base has historically hosted fighter squadrons, reconnaissance units, and support aircraft of the Swiss Air Force. In recent years, discussions have centered on its future use, including proposals to convert parts of the facility into an innovation park or business aviation hub. Dübendorf does not operate commercial passenger services and has no IATA code. The site holds significant historical and cultural value for Swiss aviation history, and a flight museum — the Flieger-Flab-Museum — is located on the grounds.
