Senai International Airport, formerly known as Sultan Ismail International Airport (IATA: JHB, ICAO: WMKJ) (Malay: Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Senai; Jawi: لاڤڠن تربڠ انتارابڠسا سناي;Chinese: 士乃国际机场) is an international airport in the town of Senai, Kulai District, Johor, Malaysia. The airport is located approximately 32 km north-west of the Johor Bahru city centre. In 2017, Senai International Airport reached a total of 3,124,799 passengers and 7,614  tons of freight with a combination of 42,744 schedule and non-schedule commercial aircraft movements. The airport is a hub for AirAsia.

Opened in 1974, it serves the state of Johor as well as people from the southern states of Peninsular Malaysia. Senai International Airport is the hub of AirAsia. It was a domestic hub of Malaysia Airlines until the rationalisation of its domestic routes to cut the company's losses. After the rationalisation, Malaysia Airlines only served two destinations from Senai.

Today, the airport is managed by Senai Airport Terminal Services, which took over the operations from Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) in 2003. Senai International Airport is able to handle up to 4.5 million passengers and 100,000 tonnes of cargo per annum. There are plans to increase the capacity of the airport to 10 million passengers in the long term and turn the airport into a cargo hub. Recent expansions and upgrades include lengthening of the runway to 3800m and building a parallel taxiway to increase runway capacity.

Senai Airport Terminal Services Sdn Bhd, the operator of the airport announced a multi-billion ringgit (MYR) project called Airport City or Aeropolis. The project, on 1,133 hectares near Senai Airport, will comprise three main components – residential-commercial-hospitality amenities, an air cargo logistic centre and a high-tech park. The first component will cover 323 hectares while the other two will occupy 405 hectares each.
