Online Reviews Summary

Recent information suggests that Betioky Airport (FMSV (BKU)) in Betioky, Madagascar, is not currently suitable for regular air travel and lacks operational facilities. The airport has reportedly not been maintained for a long time, with its runway requiring rehabilitation before it can be used for flights. This indicates an overwhelmingly negative traveler sentiment regarding its current state as a functional airport.

Common Complaints
  • Non-operational Status: The airport is reportedly not maintained and is considered "not suitable anymore," with its runway in need of rehabilitation.
  • Lack of Facilities: There are no operational facilities or personnel on the ground.
  • Difficult Access: Access to the airport from town is challenging due to dense vegetation.
  • Alternative Use: The runway is reportedly being used as a track for local chariots, highlighting its disuse for aviation.

Given its current state of disrepair and non-operational status, Betioky Airport is not recommended for travelers expecting standard airport services or scheduled flights. Travelers to the region would need to rely on alternative transportation methods or nearby operational airports such as Toliara Airport (TLE), which is approximately 120 kilometers away and offers connections to major cities like Antananarivo.
