Deversoir Air Base (LG-209) is an airbase of the Egyptian Air Force located approximately 19 km south-southeast of Ismailia; 116 km northeast of Cairo, Egypt. It was formerly a major Royal Air Force airfield known as RAF Deversoir built before World War II. The remaining RAF units vacated Deversoir following the coup that saw Gamal Abdel Nasser seize power in June 1956. The base is home to both 30 and 56 Squadrons which fly the Aérospatiale SA-342L Gazelle.
