Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique (LAM) is the national airline of Mozambique, operating domestic and international scheduled passenger services. Founded in 1936 during the Portuguese colonial era, it has long served as the primary air transport link for the country and its neighbors. LAM operates routes across southern and eastern Africa, connecting Maputo with destinations in South Africa, Portugal, Kenya, Tanzania, and other regional hubs. The airline has faced financial and operational challenges over the decades but remains integral to Mozambique's aviation infrastructure. The airline is state-owned and operates under the ICAO callsign MOZAMBIQUE. It has historically maintained a modest fleet and has worked to modernize its operations to meet growing regional demand.
