New airfield project in Antsiranana

The transportation minister stated that pilots are concerned by a closely located range. « Scores of foreign airline companies are refusing to use the Arachart airfield, only the Air Madagascar company is supplying the region, since our pilots are very well trained » said Roland Rantajoelina.

Another airfield, the Andrakaka airfield, is likely to be restored in order to reverse the trend. The minister mentioned potential financial support from France or from Spain.
