KARONGA, MALAWI

[rigs]

Hi Good People,

I'll be flying through malawi enroute to kenya, and i'd like to know the fuel situation in Karonga northern malawi. Anyone who goes there oftenly, what is the avgas situation like.

Non existent I'm afraid. Only places with fuel is Lilongwe or blantyre. You can organise fuel in mbeya, Tanzania through auric air but it's expensive. Hope this helps!

Not sure if this is any help to you but:

I passed through Northern Malawi (by road) the other week and there was was a Piper of some description parked up at Mzuzu when we passed the airfield and also on the way back around 5 days later. I believe the regn was 7Q-SKY which I think, is operated by Nyassa (http://www.nyassa.mw/).

Might be worth getting in contact with them and seeing if anything is available at Mzuzu? Failing that, I'd imagine Songwe (Mbeya) is your best option?

Good luck

Doubt there's any fuel in Mzuzu - Club Mac's owner flies in and out with a Cirrus, but I think he uplifts in Lilongwe.
