Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Beira is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Beira International Airport (BEW), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,874 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beira International Airport | BEW | 9 km (6 mi) | 7,874 ft | 33 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,874 ft, BEW handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 33 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
