Menagh Air Base (or Minnigh airport, Minakh Air Base) (Arabic: قاعدة مطار منغ‎‎) is a Syrian Air Force installation located 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south of Azaz, Aleppo Governorate, Syria near the village of Manaq.

Menagh Air Base was home to the 4th Flying Training Squadron, equipped with MBB 223 Flamingo trainer aircraft and Mil Mi-8 helicopters.

The air base became a major target of the armed opposition in the Syrian Civil War's Battle of Aleppo. The air base was under siege by opposition forces from August 2012 until it fell to the militants of al-Nusra Front on 6 August 2013. However, on February 10, 2016, the YPG and its non-Kurdish allies from nearby Afrin captured the airbase, aided by Russian airstrikes and indirect cooperation from government forces, dealing a big blow to non-ISIS Islamist and jihadist forces in the province.
