Gmunden-Laakirchen Airport is a small civil public sports airfield in the Traunviertel region of Upper Austria. It sits about two kilometres north-east of Gschwandt, within the municipality of Laakirchen in Gmunden district. The airfield is run by the Fliegerclub Traunsee, a club formed in 2017 when two local flying clubs merged. Its single runway handles aircraft up to two tonnes maximum take-off weight.

The airfield serves motor planes, motor gliders, helicopters, ultralight aircraft and parachutists. On site there are hangars, a control tower, a refuelling point and a restaurant. The club organises flying lessons and sightseeing flights over the Traunsee and the Salzkammergut mountains.

Visitors find open grass areas around the runway, a tarmac apron and a small terminal building. The control tower overlooks the whole site and the restaurant offers views across the airfield. Beyond the perimeter fence lie meadows and woodland typical of the Traunviertel countryside.
