💡 Local Tip
Don’t rely on the airport being open or staffed outside flight times; frequent visitors time their arrival to coincide with check-in and bring a book, as delays are common.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is close to Farafangana town, so the easiest option is a pre-arranged taxi or hotel pickup; metered taxis are generally not available. Taxi-brousses and local buses connect Farafangana with larger towns, but they do not usually serve the airport directly, so you may need to take a short taxi to the station. Allow extra time in the rainy season, when unpaved roads and the RN12 can become difficult.
