🇫🇷 Laon-Chambry Airfield

Laon-Chambry Airfield (LFAF) is a small civilian airport located in Laon, Aisne, Hauts-de-France, France, approximately 2 km north of the city. Situated at an elevation of 78 meters (256-258 feet) above sea level, it is open to public air traffic and operates without scheduled commercial service.

The airfield features two unpaved, likely turf, runways. The primary runway is designated 17/35 and measures approximately 985 to 1,036 meters (3,232 to 3,399 feet) in length, while the second runway, 05/23, is about 700 meters (2,297 feet) long.

Laon-Chambry Airfield is primarily used for leisure and tourism activities, including light aviation and parachuting. The Aéroclub de Laon, based at the airfield, offers flying lessons and introductory flights. While it can accommodate private jet flights up to the size of a turbo-prop, it does not have an Instrument Landing System (ILS).

Historically, the location was first established as a French Air Force grass airdrome named "Laon-Chambry" in 1938. During World War II, it was utilized by French forces before being seized by the Germans, and later becoming part of the Allied-designated A-70 Laon-Couvron airfield during American operations.
