All bookings and cheap flights from Antananarivo are easy to schedule through Orbitz.com. All you have to do is visit the website and enter your flight information to find the best options and available discounts.

The airport is a hub for several airlines, including Air Austral, Air France, Air Mauritius, Interair, CosAir, KLM, Thai Airways and Air Madagascar. The latter is the national carrier of the airport and handles domestic flights in the country.

Parking at the Airport

Ivato Airport is a relatively small airport, but a huge parking lot is located out front. Off-site parking lots are also available but may not be able to provide sufficient parking security.

Transportation to the Airport

The main transport mode from Antananarivo to the airport is via city taxis. Fares are negotiable and should be settled before departure. If you are coming from other parts of Madagascar, you can take one of the taxi-brousses or bush taxis operating in the country. The good thing about traveling by taxi-brousse is that the fare is the same for both locals and tourists. Taxi-brousses do not have a direct route to the airport, which means you still need to take a city taxi once you arrive in the city's center. A shuttle bus also provides transportation to the airport from the Hilton Hotel, which is located downtown.

Restaurants at the Airport

The airport has several snack bars, but the servings may not be enough to satisfy an empty stomach. Try to stop over at the hotels nearest to Ivato Airport, including Les Hautes Terres Hotel, Ibis Antananarivo Hotel, Tamboho Hotel, La Residence and Sunny Garden. Book cheap flights from Antananarivo with Orbitz.com, and find great discounts and air ticket sales to your next destination.
