Location
Ankazoabo, Madagascar
Ankazoabo Airport (IATA: WAK, ICAO: FMSZ) is a small domestic airport located in Ankazoabo, a town in the Atsimo-Andrefana region of southwestern Madagascar.

The airport operates as a simple airstrip primarily supporting light aircraft and regional charter or scheduled services. It plays a role in connecting isolated communities in the region to larger urban centers such as Toliara and Antananarivo.
