About Morondava Airport

Overview

Morondava Airport serves the coastal region of Madagascar, located in the Menabe region. Positioned at 30 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Morondava area, supporting regional and domestic aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 30 ft MSL indicates a generally stable atmospheric environment typical of coastal Madagascar. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences, including potential sea breezes and humidity variations that can impact aircraft performance.

Notable Features

Morondava Airport features two asphalted runways: 10/28 at 4,921 feet and 14/32 at 4,413 feet in length. The airport's geographic coordinates at -20.284700, 44.317600 place it in a coastal region with potential terrain and wind considerations for approaching and departing aircraft.

Approach Considerations

The two perpendicular runways (10/28 and 14/32) provide operational flexibility for different wind conditions. Pilots should assess current wind direction when selecting runway, with the two orientations offering alternatives for optimal landing and takeoff alignments based on prevailing wind patterns.
