Syamsudin Noor International Airport serves Banjarmasin and the wider South Kalimantan province. It sits in Landasan Ulin, within Banjarbaru, the provincial capital, and is also known by its former name, Ulin Airport. The site began as the Oelin airfield, built by the Dutch colonial government in 1936, and was opened to civilian use in 1975. Its ICAO code is WAOO.

The airport has one asphalt runway, 10/28, at 2,500 metres. A 500-metre extension to 3,000 metres has been proposed.
