About Mandabe Airport
Mandabe Airport is a small public airfield serving Mandabe and the surrounding Menabe Region in western Madagascar. The facility is identified by the IATA code WMD and ICAO code FMSC, and it mainly supports light aircraft and regional flights serving a largely rural area.
The airfield is located close to the town of Mandabe, in Mahabo District, and serves a commune whose population is estimated at around 27,000. Its infrastructure is modest, with a single soft-surface runway and limited terminal and apron facilities.
The airport sits only a few kilometres from Mandabe town centre, so onward travel is usually arranged by road using local vehicles or pre-booked transfers rather than scheduled public transport.
For visitors to this part of Menabe, the airfield provides a practical entry point, although services and amenities are limited and passengers should confirm flight and ground arrangements in advance.
