Gateway to Cuba's eastern nickel-mining hub.

Location
Moa, Cuba
Orestes Acosta Airport (IATA: MOA, ICAO: MUMO) serves the town of Moa in the Holguín Province of eastern Cuba. The airport is named after Orestes Acosta, a Cuban revolutionary figure, and primarily supports the local population and workers connected to the region's significant nickel and cobalt mining industry. The airport handles limited domestic traffic, with connections mainly to Havana and other Cuban destinations. Due to Moa's relative isolation and its economic focus on mining rather than tourism, international traffic is minimal and the facility operates at a modest scale compared to Cuba's larger airports.
Terminals
The airport operates a single small terminal suited to domestic and occasional charter flights.
Getting to & from
Ground transport between the airport and Moa town center is limited, with taxis and local vehicles being the principal options.

Gateway to Cuba's remote nickel coast on the northeastern shore

Orestes Acosta Airport serves the industrial town of Moa in Holguín Province, northeastern Cuba, a region dominated by nickel and cobalt mining operations. The airport is a small domestic facility primarily supporting workers, engineers, and occasional visitors connected to the mining industry. Its remote location along Cuba's rugged coastline makes air access the most practical link to the rest of the country.

Terminals
  • Main Terminal — A modest single-terminal building handling domestic arrivals and departures with basic passenger facilities.
Ground Transport
  • State-run taxis available outside the terminal for town transfers
  • Local bus services connecting to central Moa
  • Company-arranged transport for mining industry personnel
Nearby Hotels
  • Hotel Miraflores Moa
  • Villa Cayo Saetía (accessible from the region)
Dining

Food options inside the airport are extremely limited, reflecting its small domestic status. Visitors should plan to dine in Moa town, where state-run paladares and cafeterias offer basic Cuban meals. Bringing snacks for travel is advisable given the limited onboard and terminal catering.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm flight schedules well in advance as domestic Cuban services can change with little notice.
  • Carry Cuban pesos (CUP) as card payment infrastructure is minimal in this remote area.
  • The surrounding region offers rugged natural beauty, including Cayo Saetía wildlife reserve, worth planning time for.
  • Allow extra time for check-in as processes at small Cuban domestic airports can be slower than expected.
