KQ Suspends Malawi Flights

 According to allafrica.com, Kenya Airways has suspended all flights to and from Malawi in the wake of a crippling strike by public sector workers in the southern African country. Kenya Airways operates 10 flights a week to and from Malawi's capital, Lilongwe and the suspension is expected to affect the business community in the two countries, as well as other connected southern African countries. A terse statement from Kenya Airways said the suspension will be in place until the situation in the country normalises. Other affected airlines include South African Airways and Ethiopian Airlines. Currently, the main airports in Malawi, Kamuzu International Airport and Chileka International Airport have been shut following the strike. The ongoing strike, one of the most serious, has paralysed operations in major economic and social installations in the country.
