Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring my pet on a private flight to Maputo?

Yes, you can bring pets on a private jet to Maputo. Dogs and cats must be microchipped (ISO standard), vaccinated against rabies at least 30 days prior and not older than 12 months, and carry a veterinary health certificate. Other vaccinations for common infectious diseases are required. An import permit must be obtained from Mozambique’s veterinary authority. If all requirements are satisfied, no quarantine is imposed. Entry must be via Maputo International Airport. LunaJets will ensure your pet’s documentation is fully compliant before departure.

What visa or entry requirements apply when flying private into Maputo?

All travellers flying privately to Maputo must comply with Mozambique’s entry requirements. A passport valid for at least six months and at least two blank pages is needed. Some nationalities can enter visa-free, others must obtain a visa or e-Visa in advance. Proof of accommodation, a return or onward ticket, and travel documents in order are required. LunaJets will verify your specific visa requirements based on your nationality and ensure all documents are in order before your flight.

How far in advance should I book a private jet to Maputo?

Maputo is mainly active for private aviation during June–September safari season and around the December holidays. Booking a few weeks in advance is advised for these times. LunaJets often arranges flights to Maputo at short notice, even during busy periods.

Are there alternate airports to Maputo for private aviation?

Maputo International is the primary gateway to the capital and the most practical choice for private jets. Alternate options in Mozambique are limited, and most clients use Maputo directly. In special cases, smaller regional airfields or airports across the border in South Africa may be considered.

Are there curfews or restricted operating hours at Maputo International Airport (MPM) for private jets?

No strict curfew — Maputo International supports large private jet traffic, has long runways, and is equipped for operations outside daylight. However, many aircraft handling and ground services are operating from 07:00 to 23:00; outside that window, advance coordination is needed.
