Moa Orestes Acosta Airport (MOA)

Moa, located on the northeastern coast of Cuba, is a strategically significant destination for private travellers with interests in the region’s substantial nickel and cobalt mining industries — among the largest reserves in the world. Orestes Acosta Airport (MOA) provides essential air access to this industrially important city in Holguín Province, Cuba (CU), making private jet charter the most efficient and discreet way to reach this remote but commercially vital location. The surrounding landscape of rugged mountains and Caribbean coastline adds a dimension of natural drama rarely encountered on executive travel itineraries.

About Orestes Acosta Airport

Orestes Acosta Airport, identified by IATA code MOA and ICAO code MUMO, serves the municipality of Moa on Cuba’s northeastern coast and has historically supported the operational needs of the region’s heavy nickel and cobalt mining industry.

Its 2,300-metre runway is capable of accommodating mid-size jets and smaller turboprops, making aircraft selection an important consideration for operators planning inbound flights.
