Sultan Thaha Airport (IATA: DJB, ICAO: WIJJ), formerly known as Paalmerah Airport, is a domestic airport serving Jambi, the provincial capital of Jambi Province, Indonesia. Located in the Paalmerah suburb of Jambi, the airport is named after Thaha Syaifuddin, the last Sultan of Jambi and a national hero of Indonesia, and is located about 7.2 km (4.5 miles) from the Jambi city center. Serving as the primary gateway to Jambi and its surrounding regions, the airport provides vital connections to major cities in western Indonesia such as Jakarta, Batam, Medan, and Yogyakarta, while also supporting regional flights to nearby cities and towns within Jambi Province. The airport has previously served as a departure point for Hajj pilgrims traveling to Mecca and also operated seasonal flights to Jeddah for the same purpose. Additionally, there were plans to launch international flights to Malaysia and Singapore, although these have yet to materialize.
