Gateway to Madagascar's arid southwest coast.

Location
Toliara, Madagascar
Toliara Airport (IATA: TLE, ICAO: FMST) serves the city of Toliara, also known as Tuléar, in the southwestern region of Madagascar. It is a domestic airport connecting the remote coastal city to the capital Antananarivo and other regional destinations within the island nation. The airport operates a modest infrastructure suited to the relatively low passenger volumes typical of regional Madagascar aviation. It plays an important role in supporting the local economy, tourism to the nearby spiny forest and coastal areas, and access for humanitarian and development organizations operating in the region. Toliara is the capital of the Atsimo-Andrefana region and one of Madagascar's larger cities, yet the airport remains a small facility with limited international connectivity. Air Madagascar has historically been the primary carrier serving this destination.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building handling both arrivals and departures for domestic traffic.
Getting to & from
Ground transport into Toliara city center is primarily provided by taxis and private vehicles, as no formal bus or rail links serve the airport.
Airlines here
