Nurmalitsy is a former airfield of the Army Aviation of the Soviet Ground Forces. It was located 8 km north of Olonec in the Republic of Karelia, Russia. It appears to have been constructed during World War II.[1]

It was home to the 88th Independent Helicopter Squadron of the 6th Combined Arms Army, Leningrad Military District, from 1967 to 1977.[2]

It was shown on the 1974 Department of Defense Global Navigation Chart No. 3 as having jet facilities. It is now bulldozed to the ground.
