Woodhurst Air Base, or ZAFB Woodhurst is a Zamastanian Air Force base located 10 miles east of Freiz, Besmenia. The base also serves the Besmenian Federal Army.

Woodhurst, which was a civilian airfield prior to 1952, was repurposed as a military facility following the outbreak of the World War, and the government of Albrecht Neumann granted Zamastan a lease on the base in assurance of mutual defense during tensions with West Besmenia. Since reunification, the base has largely been utilized as a training and logistics site. In the past there were plans to use this airfield for civilian airliners, but with the expansion of nearby Freiz International Airport these have been shelved. The base has been used as a staging point for several missions in Nortua since its founding, most notably in the enforcement of a no-fly-zone over Achijan during the Chezian War, and during an airstrike campaign over Syraranto during the civil war in February 2022. Woodhurst is notable for being the largest Zamastanian military installation between the NORCOM headquarters at ZAFB Bassel in Norasa, Constantio, and ZAFB Chacich in Allengin, Elbresia.
