2.2 Mozambique Aviation

2.2 Mozambique Aviation

Key airport information may be found at:

http://worldaerodata.com/

https://www.aeroportos.co.mz/

Civil aviation is a critical component to the Mozambique transport system due to its immense size: the country spans over 2,300 km from North to South and the poor road network renders land transportation too slow.

The Civil Aviation Institute of Mozambique (IACM – http://www.iacm.gov.mz/) is the oversight body for all aviation activities.

The national carrier, Mozambique Airlines (LAM – http://www.lam.co.mz/), covers only national destinations and some neighbouring countries, e.g. South Africa, Tanzania, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. Several international airlines such as SAA, Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, TAAG, Qatar Airways, TAP, and Turkish Airlines have flights to Mozambique. The domestic flights are now being opened to other airlines in addition to LAM, and FastJet (https://www.fastjet.com/en) already operates to Beira, Tete and Nampula.

For more information on government agency and airport company contact information, please see the following links: 4.1 Government Contact List and 4.4 Airport Companies Contact List

Procedures for Foreign Registered Aircraft

The following steps are required before prepositioning of foreign registered aircraft:

  • Application for provisional Air Service Licence by the operator contracted to provide the services. If the operator is not familiar with Mozambique, it is advisable to use a point of contact, e.g. WFP Maputo and/or a local aviation consultancy company to facilitate the process.
  • UNHAS requires foreign operators to ensure that the Civil Aviation Authorities of the country of registration of the aircraft clearly takes responsibility for all safe oversight while operating in Mozambique.
  • The following operator, aircraft and crew documentation is required:
    • Air Operator Certificate and crew licences
    • Certificates of Registration, Airworthiness, Insurance, and Maintenance Release
  • For non-scheduled and private flights, permission for over-flights and landings are required 24 hours in advance to IACM.
  • Regarding over-flights, the following information is required in item 18 of the flight plan for:
    • Registration of aircraft (if different from the call sign), number of crew and passengers
    • Colour and nationality of aircraft, purpose of flight, complete post and telegraphic address of operator

  • Regarding landings, the following information is required in item 18 of the flight plan for:
    • Registration of aircraft (if different from the call sign), names and nationality of crew members and/or passengers
    • Names and address of entities to be contacted, nature of cargo, purpose of flight, airport of entry
    • Colour and nationality of aircraft, complete postal and telegraphic address of operator.
  • Upon submission of the application and documentation to IACM it will take 7 to 10 days to obtain clearance.

In addition to the above, it is essential that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation issues an official communication, notifying relevant Government departments and authorities of the mandate of the humanitarian organisation to respond to the emergency activity, in order to facilitate the decision-making process of the aviation regulatory bodies.

Security

The airport has modern and up-to-date security screening equipment and procedures for both departing and arriving passengers. However, the control over luggage helpers present on the arrival and departure halls leaves leaves the airport open to regular security violations as there is frequent access to these restricted areas by these workers, not all of them in possession of the required permits.

Passenger and Cargo Performance Indicator

The airport is brand new and is only operating at less than 10% capacity due to the economic crisis that has affected Mozambique’s growth since 2015. However, a significant increase in traffic is expected following resumption of various economic activities and key mining and agricultural projects in the north of the country. The development prospects of the port of Nacala, (a USD 300 million rehabilitation and upgrading programme of which has just started), will also certainly contribute to the rise of both national and international passenger traffic.
