More airline consolidation and this time it looks like the National airline of the country which boasts the friendliest people in Africa (they are certainly the smiliest), Air Malawi, will disapear. Comair Limited, hte South african owned airline group which runs a BA branded regional carrier and low cost airline Kulula has apparently finalised negotiations with the Malawi Government to buy 49% of the equity of Air Malawi with options to increase this to a majority stake. We have very fond memories of visiting the Air Malawi offices in Blantyre during the time they last flew into London and the dynamic CEO, Wisdom Mchungula, who ran the airline then, is now back at the helm. In our opinion just the right man to take it through difficult times. Good Luck Wisdom, enjoy your 50th Birthday celebrations and if you can keep the Air Malawi spirit alive, we’ll support you in every way we can.
