Flystasjon Skalstrup, Military facility in Roskilde Municipality, Denmark
Flystasjon Skalstrup is a military air station located near Roskilde that occupies multiple buildings in the area. The facility functions as a command and coordination center for government and royal aviation operations, working closely with the nearby civilian airport.
The site was established as a military airfield and housed ground-based air defense systems with NIKE and HAWK missile batteries until the year 2000. Following their decommissioning, the base transitioned to focus primarily on coordinating government and royal aviation operations.
The facility contributes to national security by coordinating with the Home Guard District Central and West Zealand, the primary military authority at the base.
The base is not open to the public as an active military facility, but its location near Roskilde Airport allows visitors to observe its surroundings and general infrastructure from a distance. The best way to experience the area is through exterior views or by exploring the wider region around the airport.
Despite its name as a flight station, the facility has no independent runways or aircraft landing capabilities within its grounds. It relies entirely on the neighboring civilian airport to conduct all aviation operations.
