About Ambilobe Airport
Ambilobe Airport is a small civil airport serving the town of Ambilobe in the Diana region of northern Madagascar. It lies about 6 km west of the town centre and is reached along Route Nationale 6, which links the area with Antsiranana and other parts of the north. The airport has a single asphalt runway and one small passenger terminal used mainly for domestic and general aviation traffic. Scheduled commercial services have historically been limited, so the airport primarily supports charter, private and occasional regional air transport. In recent years, the terminal building and passenger shelter have been renovated to improve comfort and safety. The airport serves as a practical entry point for Ambilobe, nearby Ankarana National Park and onward road journeys toward Antsiranana (Diego Suarez) and Nosy Be. Facilities remain modest, so travelers should plan transfers and essential services in advance. Taxis, private transfers and rental vehicles provide the main onward connections from the airport to Ambilobe and the wider Diana region.
