Sainte Marie is a case where geography fixes a small airport firmly on the tourism side of the ledger. The island off Madagascar's east coast draws visitors for whale watching and quiet beaches, and SMS near Vohilava exists to serve Tsaradia passenger flights, not freight. There is no cargo terminal and no scheduled all-cargo capacity; supplies arrive mainly by ferry from the mainland. National airfreight consolidates at Antananarivo Ivato (TNR), with ocean cargo handled at the port of Toamasina. For logistics planning, treat SMS as a passenger field only.
