Fairoaks Airport (IATA: FRKICAO: EGTF) is a private airfield on the edge of the village of Chobham, two nautical miles (3.7 km) north of Woking, Surrey. The facility is mainly used as a helicopter maintenance base but also hosts light aircraft. Its business centre is substantially dedicated to aviation-related enterprises but is also headquarters for the European Regions Airline Association.

Fairoaks is equipped with navigational aids: coverage is provided by local beacons at Ockham, Midhurst and London Heathrow.

Since 1994, the Surrey Police helicopter has operated out of Fairoaks. There are no restrictions on the number of helicopter movements, although fixed wing movements are limited to 120 thousand per annum.
