About Nangade Airport
Nangade Airport is a small public aerodrome serving the town of Nangade and the wider district in Cabo Delgado Province, in the far north of Mozambique. It carries the IATA code NND and sits at an elevation of about 251 metres, close to the border area with Tanzania.
The airport is located immediately beside Nangade town, making it a convenient local gateway for the district. It has a single runway reported at around 1,000 metres and a compact terminal area, and it is used mainly for domestic, charter and humanitarian flying rather than large-scale scheduled commercial services.
For regional travel, Pemba, the capital of Cabo Delgado Province, is the main hub and lies roughly 230 km away by air or around 339 km by road. Nearby airstrips at Mueda and Mocímboa da Praia lie within roughly 80 km, and overland connections link the airport area to surrounding villages and administrative centres.
Passenger facilities are basic, reflecting the airport's size, so travellers should plan ahead and arrange transport before arrival. The airport operates on Central Africa Time, UTC+2, and offers a simple, low-volume entry point for visitors and aid workers moving around northern Cabo Delgado.
