Maputo International Airport

Maputo International Airport, originally opened in the 1940s and rebuilt with modern upgrades in recent decades, is a compact, single‑terminal gateway serving Mozambique’s capital and the nearby port and beaches. As the country’s primary international airport it handles a mix of domestic, regional and some international flights, acting as a hub for LAM Mozambique Airlines and a base for a few regional carriers. The airport is just a short 10–20 minute drive from downtown Maputo (Mavalane area), with taxis, private transfers, rental cars and limited shuttle services connecting travelers to the city. Fares and on‑site prices tend to be affordable compared with major hubs, making Maputo a convenient option for budget‑minded travelers hunting cheap flights to Mozambique.
