## Description

WAI and FMNW are the codes for Ambalabe Airport at Antsohihy, administrative seat of the Sofia region in north-west Madagascar. It is a regional passenger field: the Tsaradia domestic brand was discontinued in 2024 and services now operate under Madagascar Airlines. No dedicated cargo terminal exists, so air freight is limited to belly capacity on those domestic flights. Rice, cashew and other farm output from the Sofia region reaches markets by road on the RN6 rather than by air, while sea freight moves through the port of Mahajanga some 250 road kilometres to the south-west. Shippers needing genuine air cargo capacity and customs clearance route via Ivato (TNR) at Antananarivo, the country's cargo gateway, or Nosy Be (NOS) for consignments from the far north.
