Location

Vojens, Denmark

Skrydstrup Air Base (IATA: SKS, ICAO: EKSP) is a military airfield operated by the Royal Danish Air Force, located near Vojens in southern Jutland, Denmark. It serves as the home base of the Danish Air Force's fighter wing and has historically hosted F-16 Fighting Falcon squadrons. The base plays a central role in Danish and NATO air defense commitments. It is not open to commercial passenger traffic and has no civilian terminal facilities. Skrydstrup is slated to become the primary operating base for Denmark's incoming fleet of F-35A Lightning II aircraft, which are replacing the aging F-16s. The airfield has a single primary runway capable of supporting high-performance jet operations. As a restricted military installation, public access is limited and the base conducts regular exercises in coordination with NATO allies.
