Landivisiau Air Base (LFRJ) is a French military airfield located near the town of Landivisiau in the Finistère department of Brittany, northwestern France. It serves as a principal base for the French Navy's (Aéronavale) combat aviation, hosting fighter squadrons that operate from the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle.
The base is home to Flottille 11F and Flottille 17F, both flying the Dassault Rafale M, the French Navy's primary carrier-borne multirole fighter. Landivisiau plays a central role in training naval aviators and maintaining carrier strike group readiness.
As a strictly military installation, the base has no commercial passenger services. Its IATA code LDV exists for logistical and aviation registry purposes rather than civilian air travel.
