Gateway to Cuba's historic Oriente region.
Location
Manzanillo, Cuba
Sierra Maestra International Airport, designated by IATA code MZO and ICAO code MUMZ, serves the city of Manzanillo in Granma Province, southeastern Cuba. The airport takes its name from the nearby Sierra Maestra mountain range, historically significant as the base of Fidel Castro's revolutionary guerrilla campaign in the 1950s.
The airport primarily handles domestic flights within Cuba, connecting Manzanillo to Havana and other Cuban cities, with limited international charter operations. It serves a region known for its cultural heritage and proximity to revolutionary landmarks.
Due to Cuba's broader aviation limitations and the relatively modest size of Manzanillo, the airport sees limited traffic compared to major Cuban hubs such as José Martí International Airport in Havana or Antonio Maceo Airport in Santiago de Cuba.

The airport has a small, single terminal facility consistent with its regional status.
