About Manja Airport
Manja Airport is a small public restricted aerodrome serving Manja, a town in the Menabe Region of southwestern Madagascar. It is operated under the supervision of Aéro Sud Ouest and mainly supports private and charter flights, as there are no regular scheduled services.
The airport lies about 0.5 km from Manja town and has a single clay runway of roughly 1,600 m. It is suited to light aircraft, with the largest aircraft generally permitted being a Twin Otter seating around 20 passengers.
Access to town involves a short road journey that crosses a river by barge. Manja is a remote part of Menabe, and the aerodrome provides a light aviation link in a region where Morondava lies roughly 130 km to the north and Morombe is around 105 km to the southwest.
Facilities are limited, with no scheduled terminal services, security screening, refuelling, air traffic control or firefighting; aircraft parking and a windsock are available. Travelers should confirm flight details and arrange onward transport in advance.
