Voss Airport, Bømoen (Norwegian: Voss flyplass, Bømoen) (ICAO: ENBM) is a general aviation airport located on the former Bømoen Base in Vossevangen in Voss Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The airport consists of an asphalt 1,000-meter (3,300 ft) runway designated 09/27. The municipal airport is used by the helicopter operator Fonnafly as well as for hanggliding, parachuting and sailplane activities.
The airport was built by the Norwegian Army in 1935. It was taken over by the Luftwaffe during World War II, resulting in a new and longer runway being built. Since 1958 there has been civilian aviation at the airport. The annual Extreme Sport Festival has used the airport since 1998. It is accessible by a spur of County Road 307.
