Remote coastal gateway serving southwestern Madagascar.
Location
Morombe, Madagascar
Morombe Airport (IATA: MXM, ICAO: FMSR) is a small domestic airport serving the coastal town of Morombe in the Atsimo-Andrefana region of southwestern Madagascar. The airport provides essential air connectivity for a region that is otherwise difficult to access due to limited road infrastructure.
The facility operates on a limited scale, handling light aircraft and small regional turboprops. It serves as an important link for locals, aid workers, and tourists accessing the remote coastal and wetland areas nearby, including proximity to the Menabe Antimena protected area.
Due to its remote location and small catchment area, scheduled service is infrequent and subject to change. The airport reflects the broader pattern of Madagascar's domestic aviation network, which relies on numerous small airstrips to connect isolated communities.
