Europa Island, in the Madagascar Strait, currently has no permanent inhabitants. France has de-facto control of the island, and manages the airstrip and NDB, but Madagascar also claims ownership.
This territory is claimed by Malaysia, China, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Malaysia currently has effective control, with this airport on a man made island, a small naval base, and a diving resort.
