## Description

Tsaradia, the domestic carrier that once tied Madagascar's regional fields together, shut down on 26 May 2024, leaving Analalava Airport (IATA: HVA, ICAO: FMNL) with minimal scheduled service and no air freight function at all. The coastal field sits where the Loza river meets the Mozambique Channel and has one runway of roughly 1,200 metres, with no cargo terminal, no cold chain and no customs office. Fish and farm produce from the district therefore reach market by boat and truck rather than by air. Air freight for north-western Madagascar is handled at Mahajanga-Amborovy (MJN), about 150 km to the south-west, or at the national gateway Antananarivo-Ivato (TNR), where customs clearance and international belly capacity are available. Road access towards Mahajanga is restricted during the rainy season from December to March, which makes transit times into the district hard to plan. In practice, shippers should route via TNR or MJN and budget generously for the road leg rather than quoting HVA as a destination.
