Pemba Airport (PMA) moves divers and islanders, not freight. Serving Chake Chake on Pemba, the clove-scented island of the Zanzibar Archipelago, it offers regional links to Zanzibar Town, Dar es Salaam and the mainland. The airport has no dedicated cargo facilities: shipments are handled through Abeid Amani Karume International (ZNZ) on Zanzibar or through Dar es Salaam, both equipped with customs and freight terminals. Pemba's celebrated cloves and spices reach export markets mainly by sea and via those larger hubs. Tourism built on the island's pristine reefs shapes traffic here far more than any cargo demand.
