Chileka International Airport

Chileka International Airport (FWCL) is a medium airport in Blantyre, Malawi. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code FWCL or IATA code BLZ. It sits in Africa.

Chileka International Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Chileka International Airport lies at 2,555 ft elevation.

Local operations run on Africa/Blantyre. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess inventory for FWCL updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.
