Local flight in Madagascar

Unread post by top knife »

Hi guys! I would like to visit Madagascar some time later this year. Would anyone know of any flight school or contact that I can reach out to? I would love to do some local flights there (with a safety pilot since I'm only going to be there for a few days) if it's possible!
