Sao Tome Island Airport

São Tomé Island Airport (TMS), opened in the 1950s, is the compact international gateway to São Tomé and Príncipe with a single terminal handling both arrivals and departures. Though modest in size, it’s the country’s most important airport for connections to West Africa and seasonal flights to Europe, and it serves as the base for national carrier STP Airways alongside regional operators like TAAG Angola and TAP Portugal on limited routes. Located just a short taxi ride from São Tomé city center with basic shuttle, taxi and limited bus links, the airport is convenient but subject to higher fares due to limited competition, so hunt for cheap flights early.
