Regional gateway serving northern Madagascar's Antsohihy district.

Location
Antsohihy, Madagascar
Ambalabe Airport is a small regional airport serving the town of Antsohihy in the Sofia Region of northern Madagascar. It operates under the IATA code WAI and ICAO code FMNW, facilitating essential air connectivity for a remote area with limited road infrastructure. The airport primarily handles domestic flights connecting Antsohihy to the capital Antananarivo and other regional centers within Madagascar. Given the challenging terrain and poor road conditions in the region, air travel serves as a critical link for passengers and light cargo. The facility is a basic airstrip typical of Madagascar's secondary airports, managed under the oversight of Malagasy civil aviation authorities. It plays an important role in supporting the local economy and providing access to medical, commercial, and administrative services.
Terminals
The airport features a simple, single terminal building with minimal passenger amenities typical of rural Malagasy regional airports.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to Antsohihy town center is primarily by taxi-brousse (bush taxi) or private vehicle, as no formal public transit system serves the airport.
Airlines here
Air Madagascar (now Madagascar Airlines) has historically operated or coordinated domestic services through this airport connecting it to Antananarivo.
