Small regional gateway serving northern Madagascar's Tsaratanana district.

Location
Tsaratanana, Madagascar
Tsaratanana Airport (IATA: TTS, ICAO: FMNT) is a small domestic airport located in Tsaratanana, a town in the Betsiboka Region of northern Madagascar. It serves as a regional access point for an area that has limited road infrastructure, making air travel an important link for local communities and travelers. The airport handles light aircraft and small regional flights, typical of Madagascar's network of rural airstrips managed under the national civil aviation authority. Its facilities are minimal, reflecting its role as a remote, low-traffic aerodrome rather than a commercial hub.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to and from the town center is typically limited to taxis and informal arrangements given the small scale of the airport.
Airlines here
The airport is served by small regional carriers operating domestic routes within Madagascar, such as Tsaradia, the domestic subsidiary of Air Madagascar.
