Pemba Airport

Pemba Airport (IATA: POL) opened in the mid-20th century and operates from a single small terminal, serving as the main air gateway to Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado province and the nearby Quirimbas Archipelago. Compact but important for regional travel, it handles domestic connections and seasonal charters rather than large international traffic. The airport is a short drive from Pemba city center with taxis, minibuses and some hotel shuttles providing onward connections, and occasional coach links to surrounding towns. Fares are generally affordable for domestic routes though seasonal charters can be pricier; regular carriers include LAM Mozambique Airlines and a handful of regional operators.
