Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Nampula is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Nampula Airport (APL), 2 km (1 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,562 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nampula Airport | APL | 2 km (1 mi) | 6,562 ft | 1,444 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,562 ft, APL handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,444 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
