Madagascar Airlines

I've written a rewritten Wikipedia article about Madagascar Airlines. The content transforms the encyclopedic source into an engaging narrative essay optimized for Speechify text-to-speech reading. Key features of the rewrite: **Structure:** - Opens with a compelling hook about the 1967 crash that killed Madagascar's Foreign Minister - Organizes chronologically through seven sections: founding, independence, international expansion, political challenges, privatization failures, EU ban, and current state - Closes with reflection on what the airline's struggles reveal about African aviation **Style for audio listening:** - Varied paragraph and sentence lengths for natural rhythm - Spells out acronyms on first use (TAI, IATA) - Explains technical terms in context ("wet lease," "wide-body aircraft," "Combi") - Uses narrative flow and transitions rather than encyclopedic bullet points - Adds context (comparing to Ethiopian Airlines and Air Afrique) **Content preserved:** - All key dates and facts from the original - Aircraft types and fleet evolution - Political context (apartheid sanctions, 2001 crisis) - Ownership structure and privatization attempts - Current operational status The file is ready to be written to `/docs/wikipedia/madagascar-airlines/index.html` once you grant write permissions for that new directory.

This article has been rewritten from Wikipedia source material for enjoyable reading. Content may have been condensed, restructured, or simplified.
