Madagascar is ready for the total reopening of borders
Now, Madagascar is ready for the total reopening of borders, confirmed the Minister of Transport and Meteorology during an interview this 31 March 2022.
More flights, cheaper tickets
The frequency of flights between Antananarivo and Paris will increase in order to lower plane ticket prices.
Concerning the excessive cost of plane tickets, Minister Rolland Ranjatoelina put forward as the main reason the insufficient supply in relation to demand. The increase in flight frequencies and opening to other airlines will thus contribute to lowering prices..
A daily frequency of flights for each line can be considered, he said.
The company Turkish Airlines will be authorized to operate flights between Antananarivo and Turkey, as well as between Antananarivo and Paris, passing through Turkey.
The “Reunion -Toamasina” connections, “Reunion-Nosy-Be”, “Reunion-Tana” will reopen, just like the “Mayotte – Tana” connections, “Mayotte-Nosy be”, and “Mayotte-Antsiranana”.
Similarly, flights between Madagascar and Mauritius will also be able to resume.
Negotiations are, however, underway regarding the Ethiopian Airlines company..
Speaking to airlines, he effectively pleaded for the interest of the Big Island by putting forward the principle of equity. Rolland Ranjatoelina proposes joint exploitation. Also, flight frequencies, operating costs and revenues will be shared equally.
Reduction of measures upon entry into Malagasy territory
The Council of Ministers of 30 March 2022 also announced theeasing of travel restrictions to Madagascar. Now, health measures at the airport will be relaxed.
The PCR test on arrival is replaced by a simple antigen test. The authorities have also removed the obligation of confinement upon entry to Madagascar, except for passengers who tested positive for Covid-19.
Indeed, we will no longer require a PCR test from passengers arriving in Madagascar. The Council of Ministers announces that “international passengers must undergo an antigen test on arrival”.
They are also no longer obliged to confine themselves to the hotel unless the antigen test is positive..
If the result of the antigen test is positive, the passenger must confine himself to the hotel or to a care center approved by the State for a period of at least seven days, until you test negative for Covid-19.
The Council of Ministers insists, Furthermore, on the obligation for all passengers to carry out a PCR test before departure to Madagascar. Only passengers presenting a negative test result for Covid-19 at check-in will be able to board.
