\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\tIn 2020, the Malagasy government began awarding concessions for 44 secondary airports for five years to boost tourism and domestic connectivity. The real challenge of this recovery lies in opening up the economy of several regions.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t \t\t With the aim of accelerating the modernization of its secondary airports, in January 2019, ADEMA (A\u00e9roports 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 A\u00e9roport, Voh\u00e9mar to Floribis, Mananara-nord to the Spice Oil group, Analalava to the Filatex group), Antsirabe to SEAVA Sarl \u2013 CCIV consortium, Manakara to the Filatex group, Maintirano to the Nera BTP group) and Morombe to A\u00e9ro 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.<\/p>\n At Feramanga Airport, the asphalting of the road connecting the airport to the RN44, as well as the large 5,000 m\u00b2 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.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t \t\t 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.<\/span><\/p>\n Concretely, the project to build these hubs in Toamasina, Andrakaka Di\u00e9go Suarez, Mahajanga, and Tul\u00e9ar 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.<\/p>\n ANTANANARIVO-IVATO AIRPORT (CODE NAME TNR)\u00a0 <\/p>\n <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
