Ground transport options include private shuttles from Maputo, which take approximately 1 The border-road connection to Maputo and the South African side is what makes the airport useful, so beach plans should always include a driver and a fixed departure time.\n\n5 to 2 hours via the new bridge and paved highway. For budget travelers, public 'chapas' (minibuses) run from Maputo (Junta depot) for a fare of roughly 150 MZN. A significant tip: many of the roads within the town of Ponta do Ouro remain sandy and unpaved; 4x4 vehicle transfers from the Kosi Bay border are common (approx.\n\nR200) for those driving from South Africa. The airport handles domestic charters and private flights. Arrive 60 minutes early for departures. Facilities include basic waiting areas and information kiosks for local diving and dolphin tours In practice, the flight is only one leg of the trip, because the final check-in, beach road, and border crossing all need to be lined up before you land. A 4x4 or shuttle from Maputo should already be booked, because the beach roads and the border run are part of the trip.",

  "terminal_info": "Ponta do Ouro Airport (PDD), designated by the ICAO as FQPO, is a small domestic aviation facility located in the southernmost part of Mozambique, situated near the international border with South Africa. The airport functions as a basic regional landing ground and does not feature a formal commercial passenger terminal building. It acts as a critical infrastructure link for the remote Maputo Province, primarily supporting private charters and light aircraft operations for visitors to the region's famous coastal resorts.\n\nFacilities at the airstrip are extremely minimal, reflecting its status as an uncontrolled general aviation airfield. The primary on-site structure provides essential administrative space and basic shelter for arriving and departing passengers, but lacks modern commercial amenities such as retail shops, restaurants, or currency exchange desks. Travelers are strongly advised to be completely self-sufficient and to arrange all logistical needs, including food, water, and ground transportation, in the town of Ponta do Ouro prior to arrival.\n\nThe airfield features two paved runways, each approximately 2,460 feet (750m) in length, and operates strictly during daylight hours under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). Ground transportation to the city center is informal, with visitors generally arranging private vehicle pickups or utilizing pre-booked shuttle services from nearby lodges. Since the completion of the Maputo\u2013Katembe Bridge, the airport is also accessible via a 1.5 to 2-hour drive from the national capital, providing a vital link for eco-tourists heading to the Maputo Special Reserve.",
