Malawi Airlines (3W, Lilongwe) has confirmed the resumption of flights into and out of Blantyre. The airfield was closed last week when an inspection of its main runway, 10/28 (2'325m), revealed numerous potholes had formed following recent heavy rains.

With requisite repair work having been completed ahead of a March 31 deadline, Kenya Airways (KQ, Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta) has now resumed its flights to the Malawian commercial hub with Ethiopian Airlines (ET, Addis Ababa International) and South African Airways (SA, Johannesburg O.R. Tambo) expected to follow in due course.
