## Description

Vilankulo trades in sunsets, not shipments. The mainland gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago, VNX exists chiefly to fly tourists from Johannesburg and Maputo to the islands' dive sites and lodges. Air cargo is incidental, limited to accompanied baggage and small consignments, with no freight terminal or scheduled freighter service. Supplies for the resorts and coastal communities arrive mainly by road from Maputo and Beira, and any urgent air freight is consolidated through Maputo. For logistics purposes the airport is a tourism node first and a cargo point a distant second.
