Chileka International Airport
It is located approximately 13 km (7 nmi; 8 mi), by road, northwest of Blantyre, the second largest city in the Republic of Malawi and the country's commercial and financial capital.The renovations were initially scheduled to last for three months, with operations expected to resume in July 2019.However, several delays caused the project to take longer than anticipated, and the reopening date was pushed back at least three times.[7] The airport continued to be operational during this time, handling arrivals and departures of smaller aircraft on runway 15/33.[8] The renovation works were finally completed in December 2019, and normal operations with both runways were resumed on 1 January 2020.
