Manakara Airport (IATA: WVK, ICAO: FMSK) is an airport in Manakara, Fitovinany, Madagascar, located on the east coast on the island.
The Fianarantsoa-Côte Est railway crosses the runway of this airport, making it is one of only a few airports in the world that crosses a live railway line. The other current airport is Gisborne Airport in New Zealand. Peshawar Airport in Pakistan also formerly held this distinction, but the railway has now been closed.
