Kenya Airways Begins Flights to Blantyre, Malawi's Capital City

Nairobi Kenya: Kenya Airways will start direct flights to Blantyre, making it the second city in Malawi that the national carrier flies into. 

 

This comes about a month after the collapse of Air Malawi. Kenya Airways will have three flights a week from 2nd August to Blantyre, Malawi’s second largest city, which also doubles up as its commercial capital, following an approval from the Malawi Government. 

 

The national carrier has become a key beneficiary of Air Malawi’s collapse and will connect passengers between Zambia’s capital, Lusaka, and Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi.

 

Kenya Airways boss Titus Naikuni said the new route is designed to open up the African continent to trade and development.
