Duqm International Airport (OODQ) serves the Arabian Sea port of Duqm in Oman's Al Wusta Region, strategically positioned 19 kilometers south of the town to support the rapidly developing Duqm Special Economic Zone. The airport began operations on July 23, 2014, initially using a temporary building before transitioning to its permanent passenger terminal which opened on September 17, 2018, featuring 8,660 square meters of space designed to accommodate 500,000 passengers annually with two jet bridges for enhanced passenger convenience.
The modern terminal building operates as Terminal 1 for all airlines including SalamAir, Oman Air, and Air Arabia, providing essential passenger amenities, security screening, customs and immigration facilities, plus basic retail and food services appropriate for the airport's role as Oman's fourth largest airport. Infrastructure includes a substantial 4-kilometer-long by 75-meter-wide runway with connecting taxiways and aircraft parking slots, plus a cargo building capable of handling 25,000 tonnes annually with expansion potential based on future demand.
SalamAir operates the primary service with six weekly flights to Muscat (MCT) using A320neo aircraft for the 1 hour 15 minute journey, while Oman Air and Air Arabia provide additional regional connectivity to support business travel and tourism to this emerging economic hub. The airport plays a crucial role in Oman's economic diversification strategy, facilitating access to the Duqm Special Economic Zone's industrial projects, port facilities, and tourism developments along the Arabian Sea coastline.
