Flights to Mahajanga
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Mahajanga is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Amborovy Airport (MJN), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,218 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amborovy Airport | MJN | 7 km (4 mi) | 7,218 ft | 87 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,218 ft, MJN handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 87 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
