BEW Beira

How deep the BEW board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from BEW. This reads the same 8 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily and what the clock here does to a Gulf working day, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 8of the 8 destinations are flown by one airline
• 5destinations run less than once a day
• 0destinations have four or more departures a day
• 75%of the destinations name LAM, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at BEW

Three airlines appear on the BEW board and they do not hold it evenly. LAM is on 6 of the 8 destinations, 75 per cent of them, and on 6 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 5.2 of the 7 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is South African Airlink on 1 destinations. 2 of the 3 airlines at BEW appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 6 of the 8 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a BEW sector is usually another LAM aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. No alternate airport within road reach is held for BEW, so that second look is a longer road leg or a different day.

How much of the BEW board is daily

Of the 8 destinations, 3 are flown at least once a day and 5 are not, 1 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the BEW board is flown 6 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: BEW to Pemba / Porto Amelia (POL) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 6 of the 7 departures a day, 85.7 per cent of the whole board. On that arithmetic BEW is five sectors and a short tail, so the depth on the board above is thinner than the destination count suggests and a hand carry that is not going to one of those five is planned around a single departure time.

The five destinations out of BEW where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable.

The clock at BEW

BEW keeps Africa/Maputo time, two hours behind Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 07:00 at BEW, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for seven hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at BEW and still make a departure the same day.

Where BEW turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Mozambique country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with BEW already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 8 destinations above.
