Mosteiros Airport was a public use airfield near Mosteiros, in the northeastern part of the island Fogo, Cape Verde. The airfield operated at least since 1957 when Aero Clube de Cabo Verde opened a new air route to MTI/GVMT, with a Dove airplane which could transport 9 passengers.[2] The airfield was closed at the end of the 1990s.[3] Since then, the only airfield of Fogo is São Filipe Airport. Mosteiros Airport was located at the northwestern edge of the city of Mosteiros.
