Location
Analalava, Madagascar
Analalava Airport (IATA: HVA, ICAO: FMNL) is a small regional airport serving the town of Analalava in the Sofia Region of northwestern Madagascar. It provides essential air connectivity to a coastal community that is otherwise difficult to reach by road due to limited overland infrastructure. The airport operates on a modest scale, handling light aircraft and regional turboprop services that link Analalava to the capital Antananarivo and other regional hubs. It plays a vital role in supporting local commerce, healthcare access, and government operations in this remote area. Infrastructure at the airport is basic, reflecting the limited traffic volumes and the economic constraints typical of rural Malagasy regional airports. Air Madagascar and its successors have historically been the primary carriers connecting Analalava to the national network.
