Ouani Airport (AJN/FMCV) is the main gateway to Anjouan (Nzwani) in the Comoros, located near the coastal town of Ouani just north of Mutsamudu. It handles regional flights and serves as a key link between Anjouan, Moroni, Mayotte, and other Indian Ocean destinations. The compact airport offers views of Anjouan's volcanic interior and is the starting point for exploring the island's ylang-ylang plantations and beaches.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to keep small-denomination Comorian franc notes for taxi fares and to confirm their onward flight by phone or locally, as schedules to and from Anjouan can change with little notice.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis are the most reliable way to reach Mutsamudu and other parts of Anjouan; agree on the fare in Comorian francs before leaving the airport. Shared taxis and local buses may pass nearby but are infrequent and not timed to flights. If you have a late arrival, pre-arrange a pickup through your hotel because airport transport thins out after the last flight.
