Gateway to Tanzania's southern coastal region.

Location

Mtwara, Tanzania

Mtwara Airport (IATA: MYW, ICAO: HTMT) is a domestic airport serving Mtwara, a port city in the Mtwara Region of southern Tanzania. It provides essential air connectivity for a region that is otherwise relatively remote and dependent on road and sea transport. The airport handles scheduled domestic flights primarily connecting Mtwara with Dar es Salaam, serving government officials, business travelers, and aid workers active in the region. Mtwara's proximity to natural gas fields discovered offshore has contributed to some increase in aviation demand in recent years. The facility is modest in size, reflecting the limited passenger volumes typical of secondary Tanzanian regional airports. It is managed under Tanzania Airports Authority (TAA) oversight.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building handling both arrivals and departures for domestic traffic.

Getting to & from

Ground transport into Mtwara town is primarily via taxi and private vehicles, as no formal public bus service directly serves the airport.
