## Description

A single strip on Bazaruto Island, a small terminal building and light aircraft bringing in lodge guests: Bazaruto Island Airport (BZB) is a tourism field off the Inhambane coast of Mozambique with no air cargo function of its own. It serves Bazaruto Island, the wider archipelago and Bazaruto National Park, and is flown by operators including Pelican Air Services with small piston and turboprop types. No freighter service, cargo terminal, cold chain or on-site customs clearance is documented. Fresh food, beverages, fuel and spare parts for the island lodges arrive as light belly loads or by boat from the mainland. Vilanculos (VNX) is the practical gateway to the archipelago, taking regional and South African charter traffic and feeding the islands by air taxi and boat transfer. Genuine air freight into Mozambique clears at Maputo (MPM) or Beira (BEW, roughly 250 km north of Vilanculos), from where consignments continue by road and sea leg.
