Antananarivo Airport

Antananarivo Ivato Airport (TNR), opened in the 1960s, is Madagascar’s primary international gateway with one main passenger terminal split into international and domestic wings, handling moderate traffic as the island’s key aviation hub. Located about 16 km north of downtown Antananarivo, it’s accessible by taxis, airport shuttles, car hire and regional buses with a road transfer typically taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic. As the main base for national carrier Air Madagascar and domestic operator Tsaradia, Ivato connects Madagascar to regional and long-haul routes. Travelers find fares and on-site services generally more affordable than larger regional hubs, though international prices vary seasonally.
