Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know who is leasing or going into partnership with Swift Air Malawi using a 737? Please PM me.

Cheers

And do they need an old Air Malawi skipper from years ago who has 10,000 hours 737 and loads of Africa experience ? Would give my right arm to go back and finish my career where I started , oh , and train the next generation along the way . PM me if you know anything , please !

I would strongly advise you against flying with them

Not likely to happen , and my Malawi ATPL is now 27 years expired !!

Why the sad comments,I did a secondment with Air Malawi,many moons ago[looking at your age ,[before you were a twinkle in your daddies eyes],and they were a great little company Is Mac still in charge? not sure how to spell Matchengular

Not worried about Air Malawi who seem like a good bunch. Looking for info on Swift Air Malawi

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.
