Dzaoudzi–Pamandzi International Airport (IATA: DZA, ICAO: FMCZ) is an airport located in Pamandzi, Mayotte, France on the southern tip of the island of Petite-Terre (or Pamanzi), east of Grande-Terre, the main island of Mayotte. It is the only airport in Mayotte with scheduled services, mainly to destinations within Africa and to metropolitan France. The airport is currently able to service aircraft up to the Boeing 777 in size.[citation needed]
A new runway (15/33) to the west of the current runway is being planned, and will be 2,600 metres in length to accommodate larger aircraft such as the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747.[3] Once built, the older (current) runway will become a taxiway. There are also plans for a new terminal to be built (and likely replace the current departure and arrival buildings).[4] This project will be completed by 2015.[needs update]
The headquarters of Ewa Air are located on the airport property.[5]
