About Lumbo Airport
Lumbo Airport is a small national airport serving Lumbo and the island of Mozambique in Nampula Province, northern Mozambique. It provides air access to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Island of Mozambique and the surrounding coastal area, mainly for charter and private aircraft.
The facility is a basic airstrip with a single asphalt runway of about 1,300 metres oriented 01/19. There are no regular scheduled flights; operations focus on small aircraft, private planes and charter services, and the runway condition is described as reasonable to poor.
The airport lies roughly 7 km from Ilha de Moçambique and is reached by road, while the provincial capital Nampula is approximately 170 km away by road. Ground access depends mainly on private transfers, taxis and arranged road transport.
Passenger infrastructure is limited, with no on-site refuelling, security screening, air traffic control or runway lighting. Fuel is supplied by truck from Nampula, and travelers should plan road connections and services in advance.
