Fiq Airfield (also known as Pik) (Arabic: مطار فيك, romanized: Maṭār Fīq al-Duwalī) (ICAO: LLFK) is an airfield in the Quneitra Governorate, Syria, (Golan Heights) occupied by Israel, near the Israeli settlement and kibbutz Afik.[1] The airfield has been used to test drones, including by Switzerland.[2]

The airfield is also used for private aviation activity and operated by the Israeli Golan Regional Council. Fiq has seen traffic drop in recent years, but is used by Elbit Systems to test their Unmanned aerial vehicles. The airfield was the site of Israel's 2001 Kart racing championship, and there is talk of converting it into a race track.
