Orestes Acosta Airport — Moa, Cuba

Orestes Acosta Airport (MOA) serves the city of Moa in Cuba's Holguín Province, a region defined by its large-scale nickel and cobalt mining industry. The airport's role is closely tied to this industrial base, supporting flights for mining personnel, government officials, and occasional domestic travelers rather than significant tourism, which is concentrated elsewhere in Cuba. MOA connects to Havana on limited domestic schedules operated by Cuban carriers, and infrastructure reflects its function as a workhorse regional field rather than a passenger-focused gateway. The surrounding area's mineral wealth, drawn from some of the world's largest lateritic nickel deposits, makes MOA an important logistical link for an otherwise remote corner of eastern Cuba.
