Flight access to Pemba is available on
Mozambique Airlines (LAM) from Johannesburg, Maputo and Dar Es Salaam. Often this flight goes to Nairobi first.
Precision Air also flies from Dar Es Salaam and Nairobi into Pemba.
It is easier to fly to Pemba from Dar es Salaam as it is closer than Maputo.
Once you are in Pemba, if you want to go to one of the remote resorts such as Quilalea, Vamizi, Guludo or Londo they will generally arrange transport for you but you need to book ahead.
You can get to Ibo Island by light aircraft in 25 minutes from Pemba flying over the Quirimbas Archipelago which is stunning.
Boat and helicopter transfers also link Ibo Island Lodge with neighbouring resorts.
Luggage restrictions for light aircrafts or helicopters are 15 kg of soft luggage including hand luggage. However, nobody weighed ours. Pemba domestic terminal is tiny and very low-key. I was able to leave a bag there to collect on the way back.
