Rapla Airfield (ICAO: EERA) (also known as Kuusiku Airfield) is an airfield in Estonia. It is located in Iira village near the town of Rapla, about 50 km (31 mi) from the capital Tallinn. Rapla Airfield is considered one of the centres of Estonian skydiving and private aviation.

The airfield has two 60 m (200 ft) wide parallel grass-covered runways: 15L/33R 1,100 m (3,600 ft) and 15R/33L 1,600 m (5,200 ft).[2]
