With the aim of accelerating the modernization of its secondary airports, in January 2019, ADEMA (Aéroports de Madagascar), the company that manages 10 main airports and 44 secondary airfields in Madagascar, signed a first wave of management contracts for the Antalaha airfields awarded to Harold Aéroport, Vohémar to Floribis, Mananara-nord to the Spice Oil group, Analalava to the Filatex group), Antsirabe to SEAVA Sarl – CCIV consortium, Manakara to the Filatex group, Maintirano to the Nera BTP group) and Morombe to Aéro Sud-ouest. These seven private companies under Malagasy law will have to ensure the operation and investments necessary for the development of the platforms while applying the recipe for the proper functioning of aerodromes (RBFA) in force since January 10, 2020. These operators are for the most part requesting the opening of lines in these remote areas, for their repetitive freight and logistics operations.

At Feramanga Airport, the asphalting of the road connecting the airport to the RN44, as well as the large 5,000 m² parking lot, the result of a collaboration between the Ministry of Planning and Public Works and the Ministry in charge of transport and tourism, is completed. In addition to the rehabilitation of National Road 44, the opening of the Ambatondrazaka airfield will contribute to the opening up and development of this district. The airfield will also undergo expansion work to be able to accommodate ATR aircraft in the near future.

Thus, once the investments have been made, ADEMA hopes for a resumption of traffic at these airfields, which will also contribute to boosting tourism, with the Malagasy government setting the target of 500,000 tourists by 2023. The aim is to create four hubs with national and international aims to facilitate tourist access to the various tourist areas.

Concretely, the project to build these hubs in Toamasina, Andrakaka Diégo Suarez, Mahajanga, and Tuléar will serve as springboards for domestic, regional, and international flights. They will prevent passengers from having to travel through Antananarivo or Nosy Be to reach tourist sites.
