Established in 2016, Madagascar Ground Handling (MGH) provides essential ground, passenger, baggage, and cargo handling services at Madagascar’s main international airports in Antananarivo, Nosy Be, and Diego Suarez. As the country’s first and last point of contact for travellers, MGH plays a central role in shaping the national aviation experience. The company’s recent ISAGO certification renewal underscores its strong commitment to global safety and quality standards. MGH continuously modernises its ground support equipment, prioritizing electric vehicles and digital systems to enhance efficiency and sustainability. With 350 employees, all Malagasy, the company invests heavily in training and local recruitment to ensure consistent service excellence. Looking ahead, MGH aims to expand nationally and, ultimately, regionally within the Indian Ocean.
