Tete Airport — Tete, Mozambique

Tete Airport, whose code is TET, serves the city of Tete in northwestern Mozambique, a settlement stretched along the banks of the Zambezi River. Also referred to locally as Chingozi Airport, the facility has grown in importance alongside development of the nearby Moatize coal basin, one of the largest coal reserves opened to mining in recent decades, which drew major investment and a steady stream of business travelers into the region. Tete itself has a reputation as one of the hottest cities in southern Africa, with temperatures regularly climbing well above other parts of Mozambique due to its inland, low-lying position. Flights through TET connect primarily to Maputo and other domestic points, supporting the mining sector and the province's ongoing administrative and commercial needs, since Tete has no direct scheduled international service of its own.
