Remote highland gateway serving northern Mozambique's Mueda Plateau.

Location
Mueda, Mozambique
Mueda Airport (IATA: MUD, ICAO: FQMD) is a small regional airport located in Mueda, the administrative capital of Cabo Delgado Province in northern Mozambique. Situated on the Mueda Plateau at an elevation of approximately 748 meters (2,454 feet) above sea level, it serves as an essential air link for a region with limited road infrastructure. The airport handles light domestic traffic and has historically been used for humanitarian and government operations given the remote nature of the surrounding area. The Cabo Delgado region has faced significant instability due to insurgent activity since 2017, which has affected travel patterns and operations in the wider province. Facilities at Mueda Airport are basic, reflecting the small population it serves. The airfield supports propeller-driven and light aircraft typical of regional African bush operations.
Terminals
The airport has a single simple terminal building with minimal passenger amenities consistent with a small regional airstrip.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport into Mueda town is primarily by private vehicle or informal taxi, as no regular public bus service is reliably available.
