## Description

Dust, ox-carts and a wide bay on the Mozambique Channel set the scene at Toliara (Tuléar), the main town of Madagascar's arid southwest. Its airport, TLE, links the town to the capital by scheduled passenger flights but offers no cargo terminal and no scheduled freight capacity. National airfreight consolidates at Antananarivo Ivato (TNR), while sea cargo uses the local port and, for larger volumes, Toamasina. Fishing, salt and reef tourism toward Ifaty shape the regional economy. For logistics, TLE is a feeder rather than a handling point.
