Emmen Air Base — Emmen, Switzerland

Emmen Air Base, coded EML, is a Swiss Air Force installation located near Lucerne in central Switzerland, historically significant as one of the country's key military aviation sites. The base has hosted fighter squadrons and served various roles in Swiss air defense over the decades, alongside supporting aircraft maintenance and testing activities for the Swiss armed forces. Unlike commercial airports, EML does not handle scheduled passenger traffic, functioning instead purely for military purposes, training exercises, and occasional airshow events that showcase Switzerland's air force capabilities. Its location in the Emmen municipality places it within a densely populated part of the Swiss Plateau near Lucerne.
