Fujairah International Airport serves the emirate of Fujairah, the only emirate in the UAE that is located offshore. Fujairah is becoming an increasingly important cargo hub, leveraging its strategic location in the Middle East and its proximity to the port of Fujairah, which is the world's second-largest largest fuel bunkering facility due to its location outside the Straits of Hormuz. Low-cost carrier Kang Pacific Airlines is based at Fujairah, which operates scheduled service within the region and to destinations in India and Southeast Asia.
