Zaki al-Arsuzi Airport (Arabic: مطار زكي الأرسوزي maṭār zakī al-arsūzī; IATA: NSZ, ICAO: ONSZ) is the one of three airports serving Nasser City, national capital of the Arab Union. Located 4.5 km northeast of the Nasser City central business district in the satellite city of el-Samra, Syria, Arsuzi Airport exclusively handles domestic passenger airline traffic—Gamal Abdel Nasser Airport handles international passengers, and Abtal Airport is reserved for cargo and general aviation.

Arsuzi Airport consists of two parallel runways of orientation 4/22, one 2805 metres and the other 3550 metres in length. The main terminal is accessible from the J5 motorway and T5 road, both directly connecting to Nasser City. Arsuzi Airport Station connects the airport to the Capital city centre via the Capital Metro Green Line and Capital Metro Express Northeast Line. The airport is also connected to the city centre by a frequent helicopter shuttle service provided by Helixair, which operates an additional shuttle between Arsuzi Airport and Gamal Abdel Nasser Airport, for the convenience of passengers transferring from the domestic to international leg of their journey through Nasser City.
