## Description

Lichinga, capital of Mozambique's remote Niassa province, sits on a high plateau near Lake Malawi, and its airport (VXC/FQLC) keeps this isolated region linked by domestic air services. The surrounding economy rests on tobacco and plantation forestry. The airport has no dedicated cargo facilities. Export goods travel by road and the Nacala railway to reach the port of Nacala on the coast.
