BLANTYRE - South African Comair has submitted a proposal to buy one of Air Malawi’s Boeing 737-300s, officials said today.
"They submitted a proposal to buy one of Air Malawi’s aircraft, but not the airline," said Susan Chabuka Banda, a spokeswoman for the Privatisation Commission, which is charged with the disposal of state-owned enterprises.
She said Comair is proposing to buy the aircraft as part of a plan to establish a parallel airline that would compete with the national flag carrier.
Established in 1967, Air Malawi has two Boeing aircraft and one ATR plane and has been struggling to break even.
