  "connection_tips": "Tambohorano Airport serves as a small regional facility in Madagascar's Melaky region with basic infrastructure. Travelers should maintain flexible schedules due to potential weather-related delays and confirm arrangements well in advance due to limited infrastructure and services. Emergency medical evacuation services are available but limited, emphasizing the need for comprehensive travel insurance when visiting. Ground transportation to and from the airport requires advance planning, as taxi services and rental vehicles need prior arrangement in this remote area.\n\nThe airport lacks weather reporting capabilities (no METAR data), requiring pilots to rely on nearby weather stations for operational planning. The single runway 14/32 accommodates small aircraft primarily for charter operations and regional transport needs. The facility operates within Madagascar's cyclone season from November to April, when severe weather can cause extended operational disruptions. Local aviation support services are minimal, requiring aircraft to arrive self-sufficient for fuel and maintenance needs.\n\nThe facility's proximity to Maintirano Airport (63 km away) provides an alternative access point for the region. Located at just 23 feet elevation in a tropical savanna climate, weather patterns can significantly impact operations with seasonal variations affecting flight scheduling. No commercial scheduled airlines currently operate regular services, making charter flights the primary access method. Wildlife and livestock may occasionally wander onto the runway area, requiring pilot vigilance during approach and departure procedures.",

  "terminal_info": "Tambohorano Airport is a very small western Madagascar field serving the coastal town of Tambohorano in Melaky Region. Public aerodrome references for `FMMU` consistently show a single runway `14/32`, very low field elevation near sea level, and no sign of a developed commercial terminal complex or dense scheduled-airline operation.\n\nThat is the useful distinction for WTA: it is a local access airport in a thinly connected part of Madagascar, where charter and occasional regional flying matter far more than passenger-terminal amenities. In places like Tambohorano, aviation's value is often resilience, giving an additional link when road travel is long, seasonal, or unreliable.\n\nFor terminal description, the honest version is spare by design. WTA should be described as a small coastal utility airfield for Melaky rather than padded with generic claims about facilities that are not well documented.",
