Highland gateway serving southern Madagascar's cultural capital.

Location
Fianarantsoa, Madagascar
Fianarantsoa Airport (IATA: WFI, ICAO: FMSF) is a domestic airport serving Fianarantsoa, the capital of the Haute Matsiatra region and one of Madagascar's most historically significant cities. The airport provides essential air connectivity for a region that is otherwise accessible mainly by road or the scenic but slow FCE railway. The airport operates primarily domestic routes, linking Fianarantsoa to Antananarivo and occasionally other Malagasy cities. Given the city's importance as an educational and cultural center, and its proximity to wine-producing areas and the Ranomafana National Park, the airport also serves tourists exploring the island's highland region. The facility is a small, basic airport with limited infrastructure, typical of regional airports in Madagascar. It plays a critical logistical role for a city where surface transport can be slow and unreliable.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building handling all domestic passenger traffic.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to the city center is primarily by taxi or private vehicle, as no formal bus or rail link connects the airport to town.
Airlines here
Air Madagascar (now Madagascar Airlines) has historically operated services to and from Fianarantsoa.
