Airport Overview
Vilankulo Airport is located in the southern part of Mozambique, serving the coastal town of Vilankulo. The airport is regularly used by tourists traveling to the nearby Bazaruto Archipelago. The airport also plays an important role in supporting the local economy, particularly through the transportation of goods and supplies. The runway is relatively short, measuring under 1,500 m, which can make it difficult for larger aircraft to land and take off safely.
