Airport contact
Mozambique's principal international gateway and hub for LAM Mozambique Airlines and Moçambique Expresso; 2023 traffic of 1,051,868 pax (+22% y/y) still sits below pre-2010-expansion design capacity of ~900k-1M and reflects post-COVID recovery. Main runway 05/23 (3,660 m) handles all wide-body/long-haul ops; secondary 10/28 (1,700 m) is for smaller regional aircraft. No newer full-year passenger figure than CY2023 was found from ADM as of this research (Aug 2026). Fact-checked Aug 2026 against Wikipedia, OurAirports, and ADM's own site (aeroportos.co.mz) — operator name, contact details, coordinates, elevation, runway data, 2023 pax figure, and the May 2026 boarding-area inauguration all independently confirmed.
