Kenya Airways Suspends Sale of Flight Tickets in Malawi

Kenya Airways has announced that it has suspended ticket sales in Malawi due to the challenge of repatriation of funds from Malawi.

However, the suspension will only affect reservations made in Malawi. Travellers can still book and buy tickets online via www.kenya-airways.com using either a credit or debit card.

Kenya Airways has, throughout the year, actively engaged Malawi authorities to find a solution for the repatriation of significant amount of its blocked funds.

However, Kenya Airways has found it challenging to meet its operational costs and maintain the commercial viability of its operations in Malawi.

Therefore, for continued smooth operations in Malawi, timely repatriation of these funds and a proper mechanism to ensure that Kenya Airways funds do not accumulate must be put in place by the Malawi government.

Therefore, under the current difficult circumstances, and to mitigate against further losses moving forward, Kenya Airways has been left with no other option but to suspend its ticket sales in Malawi.

Failure to collect the funds will lead to Kenya Airways suspending its operations in Malawi.

Kenya Airways has been operating in Malawi since 1977 and remains committed to continuing and growing operations. The airline says it hopes to find a win-win resolution with the Malawi government on the repatriation of blocked funds to enable it resume normal ticket sales.
