Gateway to Madagascar's southeastern coastal town of Manakara.
Location
Manakara, Madagascar
Manakara Airport (IATA: WVK, ICAO: FMSK) is a small domestic airport serving the coastal town of Manakara in the Vatovavy-Fitovinany region of southeastern Madagascar. It provides essential air connectivity to a region that is otherwise accessible primarily by road or the historic FCE narrow-gauge railway.
The airport handles limited scheduled domestic traffic, primarily connecting Manakara to Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar. Its facilities are modest, reflecting the small scale of passenger demand in the region.
Manakara itself is known for its fishing industry, vanilla production, and as a terminal point of the historic Fianarantsoa–Côte Est railway, which is a tourist attraction in its own right.
Terminals
The airport has a single, small terminal building with basic passenger facilities suited to low-volume domestic traffic.

Ground transport into Manakara town is available via taxi and local vehicles, as no formal bus or rail link connects the airport directly to the town center.
