About Bekily Airport

Bekily Airport, operating under IATA code OVA and ICAO code FMSK, is a state-owned domestic airstrip administered under Madagascar’s civil aviation authority. The facility serves the Androy region primarily through light and turboprop aircraft, with its runway length of approximately 1,100 metres limiting access to smaller categories of fixed-wing aircraft. The airport has historically supported humanitarian, mining-sector, and government flights into this underserved region, and it continues to function as a vital lifeline for the local economy. Terminal facilities are basic, reflecting the airport’s regional character, and customs and immigration formalities are handled through coordination with Malagasy authorities, typically arranged in advance for private operations. Its position as one of very few air access points in the deep south of Madagascar makes it strategically significant for any private aviation itinerary in the region.
