The success of large foundation models is catalyzing a new paradigm for AI-native 6G network design: wireless foundation models for physical-layer design. However, existing models often operate on channel state information (CSI) in the spatial-temporal-frequency (STF) domain, where multipath components are superimposed and structurally entangled. This hinders the learning of a universal channel representation. Their reliance on global attention also incurs prohibitive overhead. In this paper, we propose AirFM-DDA, an Air-interface Foundation Model in the Delay-Doppler-Angle (DDA) domain. AirFM-DDA reparameterizes CSI into the DDA domain to resolve multipath components along physically meaningful axes and employs window-based attention with frame-structure-aware positional encoding. Extensive experiments demonstrate transferability across scenarios, tasks, datasets, and antenna configurations. For channel prediction and estimation, AirFM-DDA generalizes zero-shot to unseen cities, achieving average normalized mean-square error (NMSE) gains of 4.9-8.5 dB over the strongest baselines. With only 10% labeled data, it achieves average gains of 12.0 percentage points in Top-1 accuracy for beam prediction and 3.4 percentage points in F1 score for line-of-sight (LoS) identification. It further transfers across simulated datasets and adapts to measured data and different antenna arrays. Compared with global attention, window-based attention reduces training and inference costs by nearly an order of magnitude.
