Make a virtual landing at Ivato International Airport (airport code TNR) named after the small community of Ivato some
eleven miles outside Antananarivo, the capital city of Madagascar, in this video. The airport serves as both a civilian
and military airport and services flights from Air Austral, Air
France, Air Mauritius, Comoros Aviation, Corsairfly, Kenya
Airways, South African Airways, and, of course, Air Madagascar. It is believed to handle just over half a million passengers a year (2019) with only a few flights a day.
The airport is undergoing a ten year transformation plan
which will extend the main runway and see the building of a
second runway and a new terminal building. The airport services Madagascar's capital city of
Antananarivo which is home to 1.275 million (2018) residents, a city founded
in 1625 by King Andrianjaka and named after the number of
soldiers assigned to guard it 'The City of the Thousand'.
