Airport Overview

Sambava Airport is located in the eastern part of the city. Its modest size and the need for the platform to comply with technical and commercial standards require investments within the framework of a project that will consist of several phases.

The primary objective is to carry out emergency work to remedy shortcomings such as the low bearing capacity of the aeronautical pavements, the small size of the passenger terminal, the deterioration of the freight premises and the size of the runway which deserves to be enlarged.

The Sambava airport development and extension project aims to improve air connectivity between the regions of Madagascar and with the outside world.

Sambava airport is a public airport under the supervision of ADEMA (Aéroports de Madagascar). There are daily domestic flights with the national company Air Madagascar. The terminal buildings and other facilities are existing and are well maintained. It is open 7/7 from 6am to 6pm and 8 staffs are working there including radio operator and AFIS officer.

Even if the landing has to be done visually, airport staff are able to communicate with aircrafts via VHF radios to give basic information such as weather, air traffic, possible obstacle on the airstrip … On top of the regular flights, there are around 4 to 6 flights per week (340 in total in 2021) with private companies such as MAF, MTA or TOA. Biggest aircraft authorised are the Boeing 737-300 (60t max, up to 140 passengers)
