About Vatomandry Airport
Vatomandry Airport is a small public aerodrome serving Vatomandry, a coastal town in the Atsinanana region of eastern Madagascar. Managed by ADEMA (Aéroports de Madagascar), it handles occasional flights rather than a regular commercial schedule.
Located about 7 km southwest of the town centre, the airport sits close to the Indian Ocean coast south of Toamasina. It provides a basic landing point for light aircraft and special flights supporting travel to Vatomandry and nearby communities along the Canal des Pangalanes.
The aerodrome has a single unpaved runway and limited infrastructure, with no air traffic control, refueling, weather reporting or runway lighting. Landings are made visually, and aircraft are parked on a basic aircraft parking area.
Travelers using Vatomandry Airport generally continue by road to Vatomandry and onward to destinations such as Toamasina further north along the coast.
