Department of Immigration has arrested a 20 year old Zimbabwean, Tinashe Blessings Sabu, for illegally entering the country. The arrest...
I used Kamuzu in April-May. It was opened in 1983 and clearly hasn’t been changed since! But I found that this was part of the charm. It’s not like the massive hell-holes such as JHB International, or Heathrow, or Schiphol. Nowhere near as commercial (I battled to find any Malawi souvenirs, even at the airport it was limited but at least the prices were roughly in-line with the streets of Lilongwe, not like overseas where a coke will cost 3x more than the supermarket). Small, but nice. An airport the way things used to be before the world went crazy.… Read more »
This amount of 21 billion Kwacha is very little money to construct a modern airport or modernize an old airport. If the Malawian leadership was serious about tourism, the sum between 250 million and 450 million US dollars was gonna be suitable to construct or modernize an airport with annual passenger capacity of at least 20 million people. This is serious transformation of a country. The talked about sum of money by the DPP government will be just enough to face-lift an airport with an annual passenger capacity of about 1 million people.

where are the designs of the proposed new look airport for our appreciation!
There is a board at Kamuzu showing the artist’s impression
Paja abwana anakaika mwala wamaziko ku KIA, so this is not news, kapena mwala wamazikowo was for the new departure lounge & arrival hall? Mwina mutiuze kuti abwana akukatsegulira next week———–ena akamenyedwe ndi DPP cadets …….. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
this story would have been written in February.
Agree. And of course, the picture displaying a plan of the new airport would have made us appreciate. Otherwise, I think it will be another kraal-like structure not befitting a modern airport, such as what happened at Chileka renovations. Sorry malawi, am not inspired.
Next time you go to Kamuzu, check – there is a drawing of what it will look like.
