The announcement came as negotiations for a new air transport agreement between France and Madagascar opened.
The minister also intends to take advantage of the negotiations to open its air space to enable more airlines to land passengers in Madagascar. “The opening of our air space to competition is part of a development plan of our air transport sector to enable us to exploit our tourism potential to the maximum. Therefore, we want to include this notion in our agreement with France, in accordance with the Chicago convention,” Manitranja Ramandimbiarison said.
