Bekily Airport (OVA)

Bekily Airport (OVA) is a small regional aviation facility serving the town of Bekily in the Androy region of southern Madagascar. The airport features a basic passenger terminal structure designed to facilitate regional domestic travel and private charter flights. It acts as a vital infrastructure link for this rural part of the island, primarily supporting humanitarian missions, government transport, and essential supply deliveries.

The terminal infrastructure is minimal and focused on essential transit services, providing a functional waiting area and a modest administrative space. While the facility lacks modern commercial amenities like retail shops, restaurants, or passenger lounges, it provides a sheltered environment for travelers and crews. Travelers are strongly encouraged to bring their own food and water, as standard airport services are not available at this remote location.

The airfield features a single 3,937-foot unpaved dirt and grass runway (03/21) and is situated at an elevation of 1,270 feet. Operations are restricted to daylight hours under Visual Flight Rules (VFR), as the field is not equipped with runway lighting or modern navigational aids. Ground transportation to the Bekily town center is informal, with most travelers utilizing local private arrangements or taxis, as there is no dedicated airport shuttle service.
