Location

Tanga, Tanzania

Tanga Airport (IATA: TGT, ICAO: HTTG) is a domestic airport serving Tanga, Tanzania's second-largest port city located on the Indian Ocean coast in the northeast of the country. The airport provides essential air connectivity for a region known for its sisal industry, historical significance, and proximity to natural attractions. The airport handles domestic scheduled and charter services, connecting Tanga to Dar es Salaam and other Tanzanian cities. It plays a modest but important role in supporting regional commerce, tourism, and access to the nearby Usambara Mountains and coastal areas.
