## Description

An asphalt runway of about 1,338 metres, a helipad and no terminal building describe Indigo Bay Lodge Airport (IATA: IBL) on Mozambique's Bazaruto Island. The strip is private, today tied to the Anantara resort that succeeded the original Indigo Bay Lodge, and it carries no ICAO code, no scheduled service, no cargo facility and no customs post. Charter and light aircraft shuttle guests across from Vilanculos on the mainland, while island supplies arrive mainly by boat, so delivery times depend on sea conditions. Consignees in the area work through Vilanculos Airport (VNX) and continue by boat or road. International air cargo for Mozambique clears customs at Maputo International (MPM), with Beira (BEW) as an alternative for the centre of the country. A second, separate strip, Bazaruto Island Airport (BZB), lies on the same island and likewise handles no freight.
