Location

Keila, Estonia

Ämari Air Base is a military airfield located near Keila in Harju County, Estonia. Originally constructed during the Soviet era, the base was reactivated and modernized by Estonia after regaining independence, becoming fully operational as a NATO-capable facility in the early 2010s. The base serves as a key installation for NATO's Baltic Air Policing mission, hosting allied fighter aircraft on rotational deployments to protect Estonian and broader Baltic airspace. It has hosted aircraft from numerous NATO member nations including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the United States. Ämari is operated by the Estonian Air Force and is not open to commercial aviation. Its strategic location on the eastern flank of NATO has made it an increasingly important asset, particularly following heightened security concerns in the region after 2014.
