Fascene Airport (ICAO: FMNN, IATA: NOS) serves Nosy Be, a popular tourism island off the northwest coast of Madagascar in the Diana Region. It is a government-operated public airport with a single long hard-surfaced runway and no instrument landing system, making it a straightforward VFR and IFR destination for visitors to the island.
Fascene Airport lies on the island of Nosy Be, off the northwest coast of Madagascar, and is one of the country's busiest airports owing to Nosy Be's status as a major tourism destination. It is a publicly operated field, and for a sim pilot it offers a single generous hard runway set against a backdrop of tropical island scenery in the Mozambique Channel.
The airport sits on Nosy Be island in the Diana Region of Madagascar, off the mainland's northwest coast, at coordinates 13.3181 S, 48.3092 E.
Fascene has a single physical runway, 05/23, 7,189 feet long with a hard surface and runway lighting. There is no ILS available. Field elevation is 16 feet.
Air traffic is handled on TWR at 118.7 MHz, with an air-ground (A/G) frequency of 548.4 MHz also available. No ILS or other precision navigation aids are provided at the field.
Fascene Airport, historically known as Fascène, developed to serve Nosy Be as the island grew into one of Madagascar's most developed tourism destinations. It is operated as a public airport by the Madagascar government and has grown to become one of the busiest airports in the country, reflecting the island's popularity with visitors.
Fascene remains an active international airport supporting Nosy Be's tourism trade, with scheduled services including Ethiopian Airlines to Addis Ababa and Madagascar Airlines to Antananarivo, alongside seasonal flights such as Neos services to Milan-Malpensa and Rome-Fiumicino. The single long runway and absence of an ILS mean visual arrivals are the norm for pilots operating into the field.
