About Ankavandra Airport
Ankavandra Airport is a small public airfield serving the town of Ankavandra in the Menabe Region of western Madagascar. Located west of Antananarivo, it provides a direct air connection between this remote part of the country and the capital.
The airport has a single unpaved runway and minimal terminal infrastructure. Domestic flights, including services operated by Air Madagascar to Antananarivo, link travelers to the national network and onward connections.
