Gateway to Madagascar's southeastern Indian Ocean coast.

Location
Mananjary, Madagascar
Mananjary Airport (IATA: MNJ, ICAO: FMSM) is a small regional airport serving the town of Mananjary on the southeastern coast of Madagascar. It provides essential air connectivity for a region that is otherwise difficult to access due to limited road infrastructure. The airport is operated under the authority of the Malagasy civil aviation administration and handles primarily domestic flights connecting Mananjary to Antananarivo and other regional destinations. Given the challenging terrain and frequent cyclone risk in the area, air transport plays a vital role for local residents and relief operations. The facility is modest in scale, with basic infrastructure suited to small turboprop aircraft. It serves as an important lifeline for the Mananjary district, which is home to the Antambahoaka people and is known for its canal system and fishing industry.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building with minimal passenger amenities typical of a regional Malagasy airport.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to Mananjary town is limited, with taxi and private vehicle hire being the primary options from the airport.
Airlines here
Air Madagascar (Tsaradia) operates domestic services connecting Mananjary to Antananarivo and other regional Malagasy destinations.
