## Description

Two carriers serve Chingozi Airport (TET/FQTT), about nine kilometres outside Tete: LAM Mozambique Airlines and South Africa's Airlink, together offering roughly 21 flights a week to Maputo, Johannesburg and Nampula as of 2026. Its 2.4-kilometre paved runway makes the airport the passenger access point to the Moatize coal basin, one of the largest in Africa, rather than a freight facility. There is no dedicated cargo terminal and no freighter traffic; air shipments are limited to urgent spares and higher-value mining goods carried as belly load, with the Johannesburg (JNB) link usable in practice for express consignments. The coal itself leaves by rail: the Nacala Logistics Corridor runs through Malawi to the deep-water port of Nacala, while the Sena line heads east to Beira. Larger air-freight volumes are consolidated at Maputo (MPM) or Johannesburg and trucked on to Tete. Demand at the field rises and falls with activity in the coal sector.
