EHDL Deelen Air Base

Deelen Air Base (Dutch: Luchtmachtbasis Deelen or Vliegbasis Deelen) is a military air base in the Netherlands in the province of Gelderland. Though once an active air base, it is now mostly used as a helicopter training site. Being one of the oldest airports in the Netherlands, many buildings on the airfield are now listed as monuments.

In December 2025 the Dutch government chose Deelen Air Base as location were a dirt strip will be built.This expansion will allow the RNLASF to perform and train tactical airlift from an unpaved runway.

There is also glider activity on the field and very nearby there is a second aerodrome used almost exclusively by gliders, Terlet Airfield.
