Mafia Airport (Uwanja wa Ndege wa Mafia, in Swahili) (IATA: MFA, ICAO: HTMA) is an airport on Mafia Island in the Mafia District of Pwani Region in Tanzania. The island is located in the Sea of Zanj in the Indian Ocean, 17 kilometres (11 mi) across the Mafia Channel on the Tanzanian mainland coast. In 2013 the landing strip at Mafia Airport was rehabilitated using grant funds provided by the United States government through the Millennium Challenge Corporation.[citation needed] The Mafia non-directional beacon (Ident: MF) is located on the field.[4][5]
