Sampson County Airport (CTZ/KCTZ) is a county-owned general aviation airport located about three miles southwest of downtown Clinton, North Carolina.

The field is a convenient, low-traffic alternative to the larger commercial airports in Fayetteville and Wilmington.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors call ahead to confirm the self-serve fuel pump and after-hours gate code, and they check NOTAMs for pilot-controlled lighting; the terminal may be unattended outside business hours.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is about a 10-minute drive from downtown Clinton via US 421 and local roads; a car is the most practical way to reach it. There is no scheduled airline service, so arrange a rental car, taxi, or hotel shuttle before arrival.
