Namibe Airport (MSZ) arrivals and departures Arrivals and Departures

For international arrivals, it usually takes around an hour to clear Namibe Airport’s passport control and claim your baggage if you checked any in. Domestic arrivals to Namibe Airport don’t need to pass through passport control, so take a little less time.

If you’re heading to Namibe Airport arrivals to pick up a family member or friend, consider arriving half an hour after their flight is due to touch down.

We recommend you leave at least two and a half hours between your inbound and outbound flights, especially if you are self-transferring on an international flight. When you self-transfer, you may need to clear customs, claim any luggage, and then check it back in yourself for your next flight. Take into account that you might need to change terminals, or it could take longer than necessary to navigate Namibe Airport’s departure lounge.

Check-in and baggage drop often close an hour before your scheduled departure time for domestic flights, and sometimes an hour and a half before for longer-haul international flights. As a rule of thumb, you should try to arrive at Namibe Airport two hours before you fly, but check with the airline you’re flying with.
