Malawi will, in the coming months, see the launch of a new tourism-specific airline providing connections between attractions in the countrys northern region and Tanzanias Mount Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar.
Rayoni Holdings, a local tourism, aviation and hospitality company, was granted an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the Malawi Civil Aviation Authority in June, which allows it to operate scheduled, unscheduled and charter flights under the Rayoni Tourism Airline brand.
The AOC expands the scope of the companys operations, which include tours to Karonga, Mzuzu, Nkhata Bay, Likoma Island, Nyika National Park and Livingstonia. The new airline will also provide linkages between Malawi, Zanzibar and Kilimanjaro, through an agreement with Ethiopian Airlines.
Rayoni Holdings Public Relations Manager Alex Ngulube said that the company was now finalising procedures for the launch of its inaugural flights, expected in the coming months.
The airline will operate a modern fleet of aircraft, with a focus on providing exceptional customer service and ensuring the safety and well-being of all passengers, Ngulube said.
