Air

Air Madagascar flies daily between Fort Dauphin and Antananarivo (Ar565, 000, two hours), and several times weekly between Fort Dauphin and Toliara (Ar486, 000, one hour). Smaller twin-engine otter planes also sometimes fly up the east coast from Fort Dauphin to Farafangana, Manakara and Mananjary; all flights to these destinations cost Ar325, 000. Bear in mind that flights are often full to any destination in this region, so booking ahead is certainly advised.

Air Madagascar (92 211 22) is just off Ave du Maréchal Foch, on a hill up from the Bank of Africa.
