King Air 350, Pilatus PC-12, and Cessna Caravan are the top choices for regional hops between Madagascar’s cities and remote airstrips, perfect for safari transfers or island escapes.
Phenom 100 and HondaJet offer efficient, comfortable service for short-range flights with up to four passengers—ideal for direct connections to Nosy Be or Diego Suarez.
Popular light jets such as the Citation CJ2+, Learjet 45, and Phenom 300 provide premium comfort and speed for business or leisure flights to Antananarivo, Mahajanga, or regional Indian Ocean destinations.
The Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP, and Learjet 60 deliver greater cabin space and baggage capacity, making them the preferred choice for international flights or larger groups traveling within Madagascar.
While Ambilobe’s runway is best suited to midsize jets, super-midsize aircraft such as the Challenger 350 and Gulfstream G280 can be accommodated with prior coordination and weight management for select missions.
Heavier aircraft including the Falcon 2000 and Challenger 604 may operate at reduced weights, but for full long-range departures, nearby Nosy Be (NOS) or Antsiranana (DIE) are recommended.

Ambilobe’s runway length and load-bearing limits mean that ultra-long-range jets are best operated from larger airports nearby. The Jettly team will always advise on the optimal departure point for your aircraft and mission requirements.
