Ivato International Airport TNR / FMMI

Sole full-service ground handling agent at Ivato (TNR), confirmed via IATA's own Ground Handling Partner (GHP) directory listing, which gives MGH's registered scope at TNR as Management Functions, Passenger Services, Ramp Services and Load Control and Flight Operations, covering scheduled, charter, private and military flights. CAA- and ISAGO-certified; operates 24/7 across Ivato (TNR), Nosy Be (NOS) and Diego (DIE).

Operates an aviation fuel depot at Ivato International Airport supplying Jet A-1, confirmed verbatim on TotalEnergies' own corporate site: "we have an aviation fuel depot at Ivato International Airport, and we are shareholders in Logistique Petroliere SA." The into-plane fuelling agent/operator was not independently confirmed and may differ from the supplier.

IATA's GHP directory explicitly lists "Aircraft Maintenance" within MGH's registered service scope at TNR (upgraded from unconfirmed on re-check, since this is a primary-source listing rather than an inference); MGH has also stated via its own channels that it recently obtained an Aircraft Maintenance Organisation certificate from Madagascar's civil aviation authority (ACM). Exact depth of work (transit checks vs. more involved tasks) is not itemised beyond the directory category.

Based hub carrier operates its own industrial hangar at Ivato; multiple independent 2018 press sources confirm the launch of its domestic subsidiary Tsaradia took place "au coeur du hangar industriel de la compagnie aerienne nationale a Ivato." In-house line maintenance for its own fleet is inferred from this on-site hangar, but the current exact maintenance scope was not independently itemised, so this remains unconfirmed rather than a directly documented maintenance capability.

Long-established aviation-services company based at Ivato airport (Ivato Aeroport, B.P. 94, Antananarivo 105) with a dedicated inflight-catering tray-assembly team ("montage plateaux catering"), confirmed via a current staff member's LinkedIn profile and a separate aviation-industry supplier handbook listing for Sofitrans (Madagascar); also operates the airport's duty-free shop and an in-terminal snack bar/restaurant. This entry replaces an unconfirmed Newrest Madagascar catering claim that could not be substantiated for Ivato.

IATA's GHP directory lists "Support Services" within MGH's TNR scope, which under standard IATA SGHA Annex A framing typically includes cabin/aircraft cleaning; not independently itemised as a standalone cleaning service.

Owns and operates its own ground support equipment fleet at Ivato and has publicised new GSE additions via its own channels; the more specific claim of a full transition to electric GSE could not be independently corroborated and has been softened accordingly. No evidence of third-party GSE rental to other operators.

IATA's GHP directory explicitly lists "Cargo and Mail Warehouse Services" within MGH's registered scope at TNR (primary-source confirmation, not inferred); RA3 EU-aviation-security-certified cargo operation handling freight for scheduled and charter carriers (physical handling; terminal infrastructure operated by Ravinala Airports).

Airport concessionaire (Meridiam/ADP International/Bouygues/Colas, 28-year concession since Dec 2016, confirmed on Ravinala's own site) operating Ivato's dedicated ~3,800 sqm cargo terminal with two cold-storage chambers and two hazmat warehouses, providing customs-clearance and warehousing infrastructure for import/export freight; physical freight handling is performed by MGH. Ravinala's own site explicitly lists air traffic control, airport security, ground handling, fuel services and SSLIA (rescue/firefighting) as reserved activities outside its remit — confirmed verbatim. Draft's previous phone number (•••, a round placeholder-looking number) has been replaced with the number published on Ravinala's own site, ••• (available 24/7).

Operational aviation-security subsidiary of CSPI (branded together on-site as CSPI/SAMADA); deploys guarding, access control, X-ray/radioscopy screening and canine detection across Madagascar's eight airports including Ivato, confirmed via CSPI's own company directory listing plus repeated 2026 Malagasy press coverage of a CSPI/SAMADA training centre and of security operations at Ivato. Control of SAMADA versus its parent CSPI has been the subject of an active legal/governance dispute reported in the Malagasy press through mid-2026, but SAMADA's operational presence at Ivato itself is well documented. Draft's previously listed phone number (•••, a Paris landline) could not be verified as a genuine SAMADA/Ivato contact and has been removed; the email is confirmed accurate.

Malagasy security firm that has operated under the Amarante brand at Ivato's checkpoints and X-ray scanners, screening hand and hold baggage; legally structured as SPSS (Societe Professionnelle de Surete et de Securite). Local press confirms two separate, genuine incidents the draft had conflated into one date: a staff pay-dispute strike among Amarante/SPSS employees at Ivato in January 2026, and an EDS3 baggage-scanner outage reported in May 2026 (not January). Materially, as of June 2026 SPSS terminated its technical-support/brand partnership with French parent Amarante International amid the judicial case against former owner Mamy Ravatomanga's Sodiat group, and now operates independently of the French Amarante brand — so by this verification date (2026-09-01) the "Amarante" name may no longer be in current use on-site even though the underlying operator (SPSS) continues the work.

International car-rental counter physically present at Ivato International Airport (TNR) terminal, offering vehicles with or without a driver for passengers and crews; presence at the Ivato terminal is independently confirmed across multiple car-rental aggregator listings.

Provides flight assistance, load-control/flight-operations and VIP/private-aviation handling for scheduled, charter and private/military flights at Ivato; independently listed as the FBO/handler at TNR in general-aviation directories, functioning as the airport's de facto FBO desk for general aviation.

RECATEGORISED from base_maintenance: MTA's own site (mta.mg) describes it as an air-charter operator, not a maintenance workshop — "une compagnie aerienne agreee par l'aviation civile: aviation d'affaires, transport prive, transport de fret et evacuation sanitaire." It is a business/private aircraft charter, air-ambulance/medical-evacuation, air-freight and tourism-circuit operator based in the light-aircraft zone (Zone avions legers) at Ivato, licensed under Malagasy air-transport certificate 5R-M02/2025. No evidence on its own service list supports the draft's claim of a CAMO-certified maintenance workshop for Cessna/Piper/Beechcraft airframes; that appears to have been a miscategorisation.
