Location

Solenzara, France

Solenzara Air Base (BA 126) is a French military airfield operated by the Armée de l'Air et de l'Espace, located on the eastern coast of Corsica near the town of Solenzara. It serves as a tactical air base and has historically hosted fighter aircraft and training missions for the French Air and Space Force. The base is assigned the IATA code SOZ and ICAO code LFKS, and while it is primarily a military installation, it has occasionally supported civilian or emergency operations. Its position on Corsica makes it strategically relevant for operations in the western Mediterranean region.
