Mzuzu Airport — Mzuzu, Malawi

Mzuzu Airport, coded ZZU, serves Mzuzu, the third-largest city in Malawi and the primary urban center of the country's Northern Region. The airport provides domestic connections to Lilongwe and Blantyre, supporting business travel, government administration, and tourism to nearby attractions such as Lake Malawi's northern shores and the Nyika Plateau's rolling highlands. Mzuzu's economy centers on tobacco processing and regional trade, and ZZU serves as a practical alternative to the long overland journey along Malawi's main roads. The airport's single runway accommodates smaller aircraft typical of Malawian domestic aviation. For travelers exploring Malawi's less-visited north, Mzuzu Airport remains an essential gateway into the country's highland and lakeshore regions.
