Gateway to Mozambique's inland Tete Province.

Location

Tete, Mozambique

Tete Airport, designated by IATA code TET and ICAO code FQTT, serves the city of Tete in the northwestern part of Mozambique. The airport provides essential air connectivity for the region, which has grown in economic importance due to significant coal mining activities in the Tete Corridor. The airport handles both domestic and limited international flights, linking Tete with Maputo and other key cities. Its role has expanded alongside the growth of the extractive industries sector, which has attracted foreign investment and increased demand for air travel in the region. Infrastructure at the airport is modest, reflecting the relatively limited traffic volumes typical of a secondary provincial airport in Mozambique. Ongoing development efforts have aimed to improve facilities to accommodate the increased demand driven by the mining industry.

Terminals

The airport operates a single, modest terminal building handling both domestic and international passengers.
