Ivato's international and domestic terminal are located next to each within two inter-connected buildings. Scheduled domestic flights to most major Madagascar Airports are served by Air Madagascar. Additionally, various small airstrips exists around the country which are not served by Air Madagascar but which offer landing possibilities with private air charters.
Visa
A visa can be obtained directly on arrival at Ivato International Aiport.
Money exchange and Internet access
There is one currency exchange service by the exit inside the international terminal and another by the exit inside the domestic terminal. Alternatively, for good exchange rates in the city, go to NCH.
Restaurants
Good food can be found in both the domestic and International terminal but not inside the flight departure area after check-in. Alternatively, an outdoors restaurant can be found opposite the parking lot, close to the petrol station, as well as a restaurant and cafe directly at the petrol station.
For those with three or more hours between connecting flights, a visit to the Croc Farm in a park on the other side of the runway is recommended. There is a good restaurant, which even has crocodile burgers on the menu! Alternatively, for a somewhat more authentic Malagasy hotely experience, stop by Mitsinjo Box, shortly before the road turns left into Croc Farm. A taxi to Croc Farm takes between 10 and 15 minutes.
A highly recommended lunch and dinner restaurant at the first cross road about 1km from Ivato in the direction of Tana is Mo Café. Mo Cafe is also a popular bar during evenings.
