The airport Duqm Jaaluni (also Duqm International Airport ) is an airport near the port city of Duqm in Al-Wusta region in the Sultanate of Oman .

Oman Air's first official scheduled flight from Muscat landed on September 17, 2018. The airport's official opening ceremony was held on January 14, 2019 by the Omani Minister of the Interior, Sayyid Hamoud bin Faisal Al Busaidi. The largest passenger planes such as the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 747 can be handled at the airport . Its aim is to stimulate the economy in the new free trade zone around Duqm. In the near future, the airport is to be expanded into an international hub, which seems unlikely, considering the peripheral location and the still low number of passengers. The terminal houses shops and cafés, among other things, and the gates are equipped with passenger boarding bridges .

The airport is located directly on the R32 trunk road , which has been developed as a three-lane motorway in the city. The closest places are Ras Madrakah in the south (70 km), Al Khaluf in the north (186 km) and the regional capital Haima in the west (164 km). The city center is about 20 kilometers from the airport.

Oman Air flies daily with an Embraer 175 from Muscat to the port city. There are currently no further connections. Like the other airports in Oman, it is operated by Oman Airports Management Company SAOC (OAMC).
