Founded in 2013 as successor to Air Malawi (active between 1963 and late 2012), Malawian Airlines is a joint venture between Ethiopian Airlines (holding a 49% share) and the Malawi Government, owing 51%. ET-AQB shown here was leased from Ethiopian between January 2014 and October 2023, the month it was replaced by a leased Ethiopian B737-700 (registered ET-AVP). In 2016, the titles on ET-AQB were slightly changed from "Malawian" to simply "Malawi".

Founded in 2013 as successor to Air Malawi (active between 1963 and late 2012), Malawian Airlines currently operates two aircraft, both leased from Ethiopina Airlines. The latter holds a 49% share of Malawi's national carrier, while the Malawi Government owns 51%. ET-APO shown here has previously been operated by Ethiopian and joined the Malawian fleet in December of 2022 (replacing a B737-700 registered ET-ARB). The 2nd aircraft Malawian operated as of April 2023 is a DHC-8-400 registered ET-AQB. In 2016, the titles on the aircraft were slightly changed from Malawian to simply Malawi.

This 2001 built AS-350B2 was previously operated in the HEMS role by Air Methods, before joining Mercy Air Helicopter in 2014. Usually based in Whiteriver, South Africa, it has been deployed to Malawi for three weeks in March / April 2023. It is seen here in front of the Mulanje mountain region during relief work after cyclone "Freddy" severely hit the area, killing some 1000 people in Malawi alone. The cyclone caused flooding, landslides and destroyed many houses. The Malawi Government officially named the relief efforts "Operation Tigwirane Manja 2023" ("joining hands").

Taken ca 1966, this Chileka scene is typical for the mid-1960s with the EAAC Comet freshly painted in the new colour scheme introduced in 1965. In the background is a Central African Airways Viscount with Air Malawi stairs in front. CAA had become an operating company for Air Malawi, Air Rhodesia, and Zambia Airways with each airline's titles applied depending on the flight.
