Air Madagascar

Air Madagascar, the national airline of the Republic of Madagascar, was established in 1962. Based at Antananarivo Airport, the airline primarily operates routes connecting neighboring African countries and islands in the Indian Ocean.

Domestically, it serves 25 cities, making it a vital transportation network for the country. While Air Madagascar does not currently operate flights to Japan, passengers can connect via Bangkok.

On September 22, 2015, Air Madagascar joined the "Vanilla Alliance" (Alliance Vanille), a partnership of five Indian Ocean-based airlines. This alliance aims to enhance connectivity across the region and stimulate the economic and social development of destinations served by the member airlines.

Remnants of French colonial history are evident in the European-style architecture in Antananarivo’s city center. Outside the city, natural wonders like the "Baobab trees" and wildlife reserves await exploration.

The airline's aircraft feature a predominantly white body with a red tail adorned with the "Traveler's Tree" design. This iconic tree, capable of storing water in its trunk to quench travelers’ thirst, symbolizes resilience and identity for the Malagasy people.

Air Madagascar is also actively involved in community support initiatives. These include constructing classrooms and toilets for local schools, as well as collaborating on environmental education projects with regional primary schools. The airline is deeply rooted in its community, reflecting its commitment to sustainability and education.
