Lilongwe International Airport, also known as Kamuzu International Airport, stands as the major international gateway to Lilongwe, the capital city of Malawi. Established in 1977 by the Nello L. Teer Company, the airport took over most airline operations from Old Lilongwe Airport, strategically located approximately 6 km west of the city center. Owned by Airport Developments Limited, Lilongwe International Airport has played a crucial role in connecting Malawi to global destinations, even though British Airways ceased its flights to London via Nairobi in March 2004.
Recognizing the need for modernization and improved facilities, the Government of Malawi sought assistance from the Government of Japan in August 2014. The objective was to rehabilitate the passenger terminal buildings and implement a more advanced air surveillance system, known as ADS-B, at the airport. Executed by the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the ambitious rehabilitation project spanned 33 months, encompassing the expansion of the International terminal, refurbishment of the existing terminal building, and the installation of cutting-edge security and aerial surveillance systems. The fruits of this collaboration materialized in April 2019 when the new terminal buildings were officially handed over to the Government of Malawi, marking a significant leap in Lilongwe International Airport’s infrastructure.
Situated at an elevation of 4,035 feet (1,230 m) above mean sea level, Lilongwe International Airport boasts a well-equipped runway designated 14/32. Comprising an asphalt surface measuring 3,540 by 45 meters (11,614 ft × 148 ft), the runway efficiently supports the diverse range of aircraft that rely on Lilongwe as a pivotal hub in the region. This airport stands not just as a transportation hub but also as a symbol of Malawi’s commitment to modernizing its aviation infrastructure to meet the demands of a dynamic global landscape.
