Suryadarma Air Force Base (ICAO: WIIK) is one of the Indonesian Air Force bases on Java. Formerly known as Kalijati Airfield (alternatively spelled as Kalidjati), it is located in the village of Kalijati, in the kabupaten of Subang in West Java.

The base was named after Suryadi Suryadarma, the first Commander-in-Chief of the Indonesian Air Force. The base was the first military airfield to be built in Indonesia, constructed in 1916.^[3]
