Quelimane is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Quelimane Airport (UEL), 3 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 5,905 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quelimane Airport (regional) | UEL | 3 km (2 mi) | 5,905 ft | 36 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 5,905 ft, UEL handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 36 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
