Madagascar Airlines : 02 new ATR-72s by the end 2024

As Madagascar Airlines strives to revitalize its airline activity, the arrival of the two new ATR-72s will mark a decisive step in optimizing its fleet and improving the passenger experience.

Delivery planned before the end of the year intended for Madagascar Airlines

Despite a slight delay in the delivery of ATR-72s intended for Madagascar Airlines, the Minister of Transport remains optimistic. During a recent intervention, he claimed that the two new devices should arrive “before the end of this year”. Currently, the company's fleet consists of four aircraft, including three ATR-72s and a Dash Q400 leased to the South African company CemAir. This expansion of the fleet is crucial to meet the growing needs of users. And this by improving the quality of the services offered. By increasing the number of devices, Madagascar Airlines will be able to diversify its domestic routes. This makes air transport more accessible for Malagasy people and visitors..

International support and ongoing recovery for Madagascar Airlines

The recovery of Madagascar Airlines benefits from financial support from the World Bank. This demonstrates the confidence of international institutions in the development potential of air transport in Madagascar.. During an interview, the Minister of Transport and Meteorology clarified that these funds are intended to modernize the fleet, by integrating more efficient aircraft which will optimize operations. Madagascar Airlines' recovery plan is not only limited to the acquisition of new planes. It also includes initiatives aimed at improving operational efficiency and the quality of customer service.. The ambitious plan to double the fleet in the coming months is a strategic response to growing demand. As a result, this could transform the company's offering and strengthen its positioning on the market..

A sovereign guarantee for the acquisition of aircraft for Madagascar Airlines

To facilitate the acquisition of the new ATR-72, the Malagasy government has put in place a sovereign guarantee, to support the rental contract with a specialized Irish company. This approach aims to ensure the financial solidity of the operation and to strengthen the air fleet of Madagascar Airlines.. A March 2024 last, a decree was issued to authorize the Ministry of Economy and Finance to issue this guarantee ; an initiative which is part of a logic of sustainable development for the aviation sector. With the planned arrival of these new devices, the company is well positioned to meet the growing needs of users, while contributing to the revitalization of local tourism. This expansion process is also expected to generate jobs and stimulate the local economy, thus consolidating the key role of Madagascar Airlines in the economic development of the country.

With the arrival of the ATR-72, the Boeny region, your best destination in Madagascar, could benefit from more frequent flights, stimulating local tourism.
