Airport Overview
Antsiranana International Airport is located 7.4 km south of the city center. For the platform to meet the conditions necessary for its national, regional, and international influence, it is essential for it to comply with standards and expand. Investments are needed to overcome its current weaknesses in terms of both infrastructure and equipment.
Antsiranana airport is indeed characterized by an infrastructural deficit which prevents it from accommodating large aircraft which would like to operate the destination. The identified weaknesses restricting the development possibilities of the airport are : the presence of obstacles (French mountain, talweg), the small size of the runway both in width and in length, the limited capacity of the current passenger terminal, the insufficiency of aircraft parking areas, the deficiency of equipment dedicated to safety and air navigation.
The Antsiranana airport development and extension project aims to improve air connectivity between the regions of Madagascar and with the outside world by bringing the technical and commercial operation of the airport up to standard for the reception of wide-bodied aircraft of the A340 or B777 type. It should also be noted that Antsiranana, with a substantial investment, can also build new infrastructure on the new site of Andrakaka (45km south-west of the city). The objective is to make the platform the air hub of northern Madagascar with a radius of destinations that goes as far as Asia and Europe.
