Sainte Marie Airport is a tourist-oriented<br />
airport because it is the most frequented by<br />
tourists. Located 11 kms south-west of the<br />
town of Sainte Marie, the airport is quiet and<br />
offers a pleasant view upon arrival.<br />
Sainte Marie Airport, called "Ravoraha", provides Sainte<br />
Marie's air connectivity with the rest of the Malagasy territory<br />
and Reunion Island. The extension of the terminal, carried out<br />
in 2015, has tripled the area used (1502m²) for a capacity of up to<br />
50,000 passengers per year. The airline Air Madagascar provides<br />
regular national and regional flights linking the island of Sainte<br />
Marie with the rest of the Malagasy territory as well as with the<br />
island of Réunion. More than 25,000 passengers were registered<br />
at Sainte Marie airport in 2016.<br />
The terminal has recently been redesigned with a new sound<br />
system, new electronic scales for airlines, new seats, a new VIP<br />
Lounge, new shops, one of which is under customs control,<br />
and above all an air conditioning system. It makes Sainte Marie<br />
the first air-conditioned air terminal in Madagascar. Since the<br />
island of Sainte Marie is a popular tourist destination known<br />
throughout the world through the whale festival, a master plan<br />
has been realised for a long-term vision of the evolution of the<br />
airport, meeting the objectives<br />
to optimise airport capacity at<br />
the Ravoraha site, including: the<br />
construction of a new terminal and<br />
the tarmac in the southern part of<br />
the airport right-of-way, allowing<br />
two B737 and ATR aircraft to be<br />
accommodated simultaneously.<br />
These infrastructures will be<br />
accompanied by equipment<br />
complying with ICAO standards,<br />
a platform of 27 000 m² of<br />
commercial and hotel park aimed<br />
at developing the seaside and<br />
tourist facilities of Nattes Island.<br />
Plus de 25 000<br />
passagers ont<br />
été enregistrés<br />
sur l’aéroport<br />
de Sainte Marie<br />
en 2016.<br />
More than<br />
