Bam Airport (BXR/OIKM) is a domestic airport serving Bam in Kerman Province, southeastern Iran. Located about 9–10 km from the city center, it handles limited scheduled flights, mainly to Tehran and other Iranian cities, and was important for relief flights after the 2003 Bam earthquake. Its small terminal and desert setting make it a practical gateway to the UNESCO-listed Arg-e Bam.
