Malawi Airlines to resume full network operations
The flag carrier airline of Malawi, Malawi Airlines, has announced that it will resume full network operations from mid-June 2021. According to the Nyasa Times, a Malawian online newspaper, the airline's two stakeholders - Ethiopian Airlines (49%) and the Government of Malawi (51%) - agreed to recapitalise the technically insolvent airline.
The (undisclosed) bailout allows Malawi Airlines to resume flights to destinations like Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Nairobi (Kenya), Lusaka (Zambia) and Harare (Zimbabwe). Malawi Airlines currently only operates flights between Kamuzu International Airport (LLW) in Lilongwe and OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg as well as between Chileka International Airport (BLZ) in Blantyre and Johannesburg.
