Mtchungula passed away last year and Air Malawi is currently on the brink of bankruptcy and only barely keeping 1 a/c (the 1993 ATR 42) airborne.

Sad times for Malawi aviation. Should have sold and privatized a few years ago.

Swift Air not doing much better, still haven't received their full Malawi AOC and have been operating a variety of leased aircraft since April last year. High fuel costs, low yields usually spell the end for any carrier.
