The company says the new routes are a sign of growth for the
Airline.
Marketing Manager for the Airline, Only Taulo, told
reporters that fares for the Airline were quite affordable.
"Soon we will start operating to Kigali, Rwanda. We
will also be connecting to Nampula and Bemba in Mozambique and towards the end
of the year, we are thinking of starting operating to Uganda. We are affordable
and not expensive," remarked Taulo.
Commenting on the development, Dean of Faculty of Tourism,
Hospitality and Management at Mzuzu University, Dr Lameck Zetu Khonje, told
Nyasa Times that it was a good move in the right direction is as far as
development in tourism is concerned.
"This is a very good development. Rwanda is a hot
tourism destination in Africa and so connecting Malawi and Rwanda with direct
flights will be very beneficial to Malawi. Mozambique is our neighbour and one
of upcoming tourism destinations in Africa.
"So if we can have direct flights to Mozambique and
Rwanda, we can easily get in-flows from these two countries. That is a very
positive development because it is connecting the tourism hot spots with
Malawi," remarked Khonje.
Airlines are one way of generating foreign exchange for
countries across the globe.
