飞行场指用于航空器起降活动之地方，陆地与水体皆可。

飞行场与飞机场的差别在于其所指范围之不同。飞行场包括所有航空器（如飞机、飞艇、气球等），飞机场则仅供飞机起降。

An aerodrome or airdrome is a location from which aircraft flight operations take place, regardless of whether they involve air cargo, passengers, or neither. Aerodromes include small general aviation airfields, large commercial airports, and military airbases. The term airport may imply a certain stature (having satisfied certain certification criteria or regulatory requirements) that an aerodrome may not have achieved. That is to say, all airports are aerodromes, but not all aerodromes are airports. Usage of the term "aerodrome" remains more common in the UK and Commonwealth nations, and is conversely almost unknown in American English.
