ZRH to NOS (Nosy Be, Madagascar) on Oneworld

Is there any reasonable way to get from ZRH to NOS on Oneworld? (Yes I have checked Matrix but am looking for creative solutions). And apologies, the correct spelling is Nossi-Be - thank you autocorrect.

From a quick play around, QR to ADD and then Ethiopian from there as a two stop is the best I can see, but QR to ADD is only 4x weekly rather than every day so it depends on your dates. Madagascar isn’t exactly prime oneworld territory!

Hi,

I did a quick check and don't see any oneworld carriers flying to Madagascar
Options could be
Oneworld to South Africa, Mauritius ,Tanzania or Kenya then non one world

The main airport in Madagascar has the following airlines serving it per wikipedia
Ivato International Airport - Wikipedia

QR to JNB and the onward to TNR on Airlink, which I believe is a BA partner.

Then you will have to book separately to Nosy Be on Madagascar

JNB on a Sunday.

Thanks all. I ended up doing Ethiopian LHR->ANN->NOS (not one-world I know, but the timings were so much better) and will sort out ZRH->LON on separate tickets - and perhaps score some BAEC tier points for that bit anyway. This was about 30% of the price (business class) of going from GVA (from where Ethiopian fly).
