Lichinga Airport guide

Lichinga Airport (ICAO FQLC) serves Lichinga, the capital of Niassa Province in northern Mozambique. It sits at 1,369 metres above sea level on the Niassa plateau, a few kilometres from the city centre. The field was built as a Portuguese military airbase in 1962, when the town was known as Vila Cabral.

A single asphalt runway, 08/26, is 2,530 metres long and 45 metres wide. The airport handles domestic traffic only. LAM Mozambique Airlines, the national flag carrier, flies scheduled services to Maputo, Nampula and Quelimane.

The airport has no customs or immigration facilities and does not operate around the clock. Aeroportos de Moçambique manages it. Check current schedules with the airline before travelling, as flight days change.
