CDEDI demands forensic audit on Malawi Airlines
Centre for Democracy and Economic Development Initiatives (Cdedi) officials have written Attorney General Thabo Chakaka-Nyirenda demanding forensic audit operations of Malawi Airlines. Under the agreement, Malawi Government has 49 percent stakes in Malawi Airlines while the Ethiopian Airlines (ET) has 51 percent shareholding. “This systematic ‘anomaly’ allows Ethiopian Airlines to receive all air ticket money realised from travel agents across the globe who sale tickets on behalf of Malawian Airlines. “Consequently, Malawi Airlines does not have any idea the amount realised on a monthly basis,” reads the letter. According to Cdedi, another interesting aspect of the contract is that all aircraft belong to Ethiopian Airlines and operate as Malawi Airlines on lease, meaning in the event there is termination of contract Malawi will be left without any aircraft.

Boeing: US regulator to increase oversight of firm after blowout
[Source: BBC]For years, the FAA has delegated some parts of quality reviewing of planes to Boeing, but the practice has been controversial, drawing repeated warnings of safety risks. “It is time to re-examine the delegation of authority and assess any associated safety risks,” FAA administrator Mike Whitaker said in a statement. The blowout on the Alaska Airlines flight from Portland, Oregon to California, which forced an emergency landing but resulted in no serious injuries, has revived scrutiny. Passengers on the Alaska Airlines flight have filed a class action lawsuit against Boeing.
