About Maganja da Costa Airport
Maganja da Costa Airport is a small domestic airfield serving the municipality of Maganja da Costa in Zambezia Province, Mozambique. It provides an important aviation link for a rural district where road access can be slow and difficult, particularly during the rainy season.
The airport sits at an elevation of about 66 metres and handles mainly charter, government, agricultural and humanitarian flights, along with limited regional passenger operations. Facilities are basic, matching its role as a practical district access point rather than a large commercial hub.
Located around 90 km from Quelimane, the provincial capital, the airport connects the district with the wider Mozambican aviation network through the nearby regional hub of Quelimane Airport. There is no regular taxi rank at the airport, so onward travel is normally arranged in advance.
Travelers using the airport should plan ahead, as passenger services, shops and transport options on site are limited. Its value lies in bringing the remote coastal districts of Zambezia within easier reach of the rest of the country.
