Filipe Jacinto Nyusi Airport, in Chongoene, has not yet started to yield satisfactorily in terms of airport revenue collection, according to the President of the Board of Directors of Mozambique Airports. Américo Muchanga explains that the infrastructure is still growing. Filipe Jacinto Nyusi Airport does not have flights from that point to the City of Maputo and vice versa. You will only have them from December onwards. Asked about the profitability of the recently inaugurated infrastructure, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company Aeroportos de Moçambique said that it takes time for the airport to grow. “Chongoene Airport is in a state of infancy. Any airport infrastructure that is placed on a large site has some time to grow, but, above all, it is necessary to create conditions so that the entire population living in Gaza and living in the vicinity of Chongoene Airport can use it as a place from which to take the plane for your trips.” The airport was opened in 2021, after construction began in 2018. Américo Muchanga also said that the possibility of Mozambican miners who are working in South Africa returning is being discussed. by plane to their homes using Chongoene Airport. Aeroportos’ PCA also talks about the dynamics that the company Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique is creating in recent months, allowing more Mozambicans to use air transport, a fact that is having positive impacts. “In the national case, LAM, being an operator that goes to all airports in Mozambique, its growth clearly has an impact. But above all because its growth means that there are more and more Mozambicans who use air as a means of transport, so the effort that LAM is making, to make the civil aviation service more accessible to citizens, is tremendous; It is an effort that we should all be proud of.” A LAM source assured “O País” that flights to and from Xai-Xai will only resume in December.
