Gateway to Mohéli, Comoros' smallest and most pristine island.

Location
Fomboni, Comoros
Mohéli Bandar Es Eslam Airport (IATA: NWA, ICAO: FMCI) is a small regional airport serving Fomboni, the capital of Mohéli, the smallest of the three main islands of the Comoros archipelago in the Indian Ocean. The airport provides essential air connectivity for the island's residents and visitors, given the limited maritime transport options between the islands. The airport operates modest facilities suited to low passenger volumes, handling primarily inter-island flights within the Comoros. Mohéli is known for its relatively unspoiled natural environment, including Mohéli Marine Park, and the airport serves as a key access point for ecotourism to the island. Due to Mohéli's small population and limited infrastructure, the airport sees infrequent scheduled services and operates on a small scale compared to the main Comoros gateway, Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport in Moroni.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building with basic passenger facilities.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to Fomboni town center is limited, primarily consisting of taxis and informal shared vehicles.
Airlines here
Inter-island carrier APCM (Air des Comores) and similar regional operators have historically served the airport with connections to Moroni and Anjouan.
