Mangochi Airport (IATA: MAI, ICAO: FWMG) is an airport that used to serve the town of Mangochi in Southern Region, Malawi.

History

[edit]

In 2020 the plans for the airport were delayed and 100s of local landowners were expecting compensation. The local MP Victoria Kingston spoke up in parliament urging action and for the President Lazuras Chakwera not to abandon the plan for the airport and hotel.[3]
