Buta Zega Airport is a small regional airport serving the town of Buta in Bas-Uélé Province, in the northeastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The airport holds IATA code BZU and ICAO code FZKJ, and handles light traffic consisting mainly of small aircraft operated by regional and humanitarian carriers. It plays an important logistical role for aid organizations and government operations in this sparsely populated province.
