Aeromagnetic surveys, renowned for their operational flexibility and high efficiency, serve as a crucial technique for measuring the geomagnetic field. However, aeromagnetic surveys are easily affected by magnetic interference from navigation platforms, making the compensation of aeromagnetic interference a crucial step in the measurement process. To address the inadequate consideration of nonlinear magnetic field interference in traditional compensation algorithms, this paper introduces an aeromagnetic compensation approach based on broad learning system. The broad learning system employs an incremental learning mechanism aimed at enhancing the precision of the network alongside the increase in nodes. With each expansion of the network node, computation is streamlined to calculating the pseudo-inverse of the expansion node, eliminating the necessity for retraining the entire network structure. Leveraging the nonlinear fitting characteristics of the broad learning system, this paper improves the accuracy of aeromagnetic interference compensation. Through UAV flight experiments, the broad learning system is compared with methodologies using particle swarm optimization (PSO) and BP neural network. Compared with PSO, training time was reduced by $21.3 \%$ and magnetic interference by $33.6 \%$. Compared with BP neural networks, training time was reduced by $34.9 \%$ and magnetic interference by $28.6 \%$. This paper provides references and ideas for the selection of aeromagnetic interference compensation algorithms.
