๐ข Terminal Information
Beira Airport (BEW) serves the coastal city of Beira, the capital of Sofala Province, and is the second-busiest airport in Mozambique. This regional international airport efficiently handles domestic flights (connecting to Maputo and other Mozambican cities) and regional international services (often to South Africa, Ethiopia, and other neighboring countries), reflecting its importance for commerce and tourism in central Mozambique. The terminal building is a compact, modern facility, designed for efficiency and passenger comfort, featuring integrated check-in, security, and immigration areas.\n\nSecurity procedures at BEW are in line with Mozambican aviation regulations. Passengers can expect thorough screening of both carry-on and checked luggage, along with personal security checks before entering the departure lounge. For international flights, comprehensive passport control and customs procedures are in place. Due to the airport's coastal location, it is susceptible to tropical weather events, particularly during cyclone season, which can impact flight operations; travelers are advised to monitor weather forecasts. Boarding is typically conducted via a short walk across the tarmac to the aircraft.\n\nAmenities within the terminal include basic shops and cafes offering beverages and light snacks. Travelers might find local crafts and souvenirs available for purchase. For ground transportation, taxis are readily available outside the terminal, providing convenient connections to Beira city center. It is advisable to have local currency (Meticais) for small expenses, as the single ATM in arrivals can sometimes be out of service. The airport serves as a critical gateway to central Mozambique, supporting local businesses and providing access to the region's natural attractions and historical sites.
