Airport Overview
The Manakara airport is a public restricted airport under the supervision of the Association VELOGNIZY. There are no regular flights anymore, but there is a possibility of contracting a private company. Airstrip and parking were maintained in 2017. There is a railway cutting the airstrip, but planes have priority, and a stop signal is activated by the airport staff as soon they are aware of an approach.
It is open 7/7 from 6 am to 6 pm and 8 staff work there, including 2 radio operators. Even if the landing has to be done visually, airport staff are able to communicate with the aircrafts via VHF radios to give basic AFIS information such as weather, air traffic, possible obstacle on the airstrip, etc.
There is around 3 flights a month (36 flights in 2021), and the main companies working there are MAF and Aéromarine, LTA, STA.
The biggest aircraft authorised is the ATR 72 (20t max, up to 68 passengers)
