About Montepuez Airport
Montepuez Airport is a small regional airfield serving the town of Montepuez in Cabo Delgado Province, northern Mozambique. It provides a limited but important air link for the town and surrounding rural areas and uses the IATA code MTU.
The airport mainly handles domestic charters, private flights and occasional scheduled services, often supporting mining, agricultural, humanitarian and government travel in the region. Its infrastructure is modest, with a basic passenger handling area rather than a large multi-terminal complex.
Located close to central Montepuez, the airport is reached by local road. Pemba, the provincial capital and nearest major air hub, lies roughly 165–170 km away by road, making Montepuez Airport a useful access point for the interior of Cabo Delgado.
Because passenger facilities and scheduled operations are limited, travelers should confirm flights in advance and arrange onward transport before arrival.
