Dhoho Airport (Indonesian: Bandar Udara Dhoho) is an airport that serves Kediri, situated approximately 120 kilometers southwest of Surabaya, and alongside Kediri also serves the Blitar and Nganjuk regencies of East Java, Indonesia. The goal of developing the airport was to boost economic growth in the southern parts of East Java, as well as to supplement the operations of Juanda International Airport in Surabaya and Abdul Rachman Saleh Airport in Malang.[2]

The airport began domestic passenger operations on 5 April 2024, and is built to be able to accommodate international travel.[3] Dhoho International Airport is the first ever airport in Indonesia to be fully funded by the private sector[4] and was developed in three phases under a public-private partnership scheme with a concession period of 30 to 50 years.
