Ravinala Airports, the concessionaire operating both Antananarivo and Nosy Be Airports in Madagascar, has completed a significant renovation and upgrade of the domestic terminal at Ivalo International Airport serving the capital of Madagascar Antananarivo, located 16 kilometres northwest of the city centre in the commune of Ivato and main hub for Madagascar Airlines.
The terminal can now accommodate 261 passengers per hour, up from 120 previously, while the waiting area has expanded from 380 square metres, increasing seating from 151 to 236. The number of boarding gates has risen from two to four, and baggage - screening areas have doubled from one to two.
The new terminal features modern boarding bridges, and is designed to accommodate wide - bodied aircraft following runway strengthening.
In addition the upgraded terminal introduced a range of new passenger amenities, including indoor and outdoor retail outlets, a children’s play area, a VIP lounge, a private flight area and a cultural exhibition space.
Ivato International Airport was recognized as the “Best Airport under 2 Million Passengers in Africa” by Airports Council International (ACI) for 2023.
The improvements at Ivato International Airport that has more than doubled its passenger handling capacity represent a notable step forward in Madagascar’s aviation infrastructure, enhancing the domestic travel experience and supporting the country’s broader efforts to develop its tourism sector and improve connectivity for both local and international visitors.
