Bahja Airport is a small, utilitarian airstrip located in the Dhofar region of southern Oman, primarily serving the petroleum industry workforce operating in the surrounding desert interior. It functions largely as a private or restricted-use facility supporting energy sector logistics rather than commercial passenger traffic. Its role is defined by the operational demands of Oman's oil fields rather than tourism or general aviation.
- Main Terminal — A basic functional facility catering primarily to oil industry staff and chartered flights with minimal passenger amenities.
- Company-operated shuttle buses for oil field workers
- Private vehicle transfers arranged by employers
- Hired taxis for occasional non-industry visitors
- Oil company staff accommodation camps (Bahja area)
