Gamal Abdel Nasser Airport
Gamal Abdel Nasser Airport (Arabic: مطار جمال عبد الناصر maṭār jamāl ‘abd an-nāṣir; IATA: NSR, ICAO: ONSR) is an international airport serving as the primary international gateway to the Arab Union federal capital of Nasseria. It is located in Waqqas, Jordan, an outer suburb of Nasseria—15 km south of Victory Square in the Nasser City central business district—and is the largest and busiest of three civil airports serving the Capital metropolitan area, alongside Arsuzi Airport (domestic commercial flights) and Manara Airport (general aviation). Gamal Abdel Nasser Airport is the second busiest airport in the Arab Union by annual traveller volume, after Heliopolis Cairo Airport. Like the national capital it serves, the airport is named after Gamal Abdel Nasser, first President of the Arab Union.
The airport consists of three runways: one of orientation 28/10, 2035 metres in length, and two parallel runways of orientation 3/21, one 3880 metres and the other 4115 metres in length. A sheltered, air conditioned plaza joins entrances to the main departure terminal, arrivals terminal, parking complex, Oasis Hotel Nasser Airport and a metro station, terminus of the Capital Metro Airport Line, which offers 20-minute, 24/7 service to Union Station in central Nasser City. Gamal Abdel Nasser Airport serves as the official and main operational hub of Arabian Airlines, the Arab Union's de facto flag carrier and largest commercial airline by passenger volume, fleet size and number of destinations served.
