About Toliara Airport
Overview
Toliara Airport serves the southwestern region of Madagascar, located near the city of Toliara at 29 feet above mean sea level. The airport supports regional transportation with two asphalt runways, providing critical aviation infrastructure for this coastal area. Its medium-sized classification indicates capability for regional commercial and general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Positioned at -23.383400, 43.728500, the airport experiences typical tropical maritime weather characteristics common to Madagascar's southern coastline. Pilots should anticipate potential variations in visibility and wind conditions due to the coastal environment. The low elevation of 29 feet MSL suggests minimal terrain-induced turbulence in the immediate airport vicinity.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways with differing lengths: Runway 04/22 at 6,562 feet and Runway 11/29 at 2,625 feet, both constructed with asphalt surface. The longer runway provides flexibility for larger aircraft operations, while the shorter runway offers alternative approach options depending on wind conditions. Its coastal location may introduce marine layer and sea breeze dynamics affecting local meteorological conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will depend primarily on prevailing wind direction, with the longer 04/22 runway offering more operational flexibility. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind shifts typical of coastal environments. The dual runway configuration allows for wind-appropriate approach and departure options, enhancing operational safety and efficiency.
