Kjeller Airfield, officially known as Lillestrøm Airfield, is a small general aviation airport located at Kjeller, just east of Oslo in Akershus county, Norway. It holds the distinction of being one of the oldest airfields in Norway, with roots stretching back to the early years of powered flight in the country.
The airfield is closely associated with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) and has historically served military research, test flying, and general aviation purposes. It is not a commercial passenger airport and handles primarily light aircraft, helicopter operations, and aviation-related research activities.
