Little is known about Mongolian operator Zorte Air, which was first publicly seen operating two Mi-8 helicopters in Malawi in April 2023. It seems the company was founded in late 2022 or early 2023, obtaining at least two former russian registered Mi-8's. JU-5888 shown here taxing out with 3000kgs of relief supplies, was previously registered as RA-27149. Together with JU-5008 and over a period of 3 month, it conducted some 250 flights, transporting 750 tonnes of material during "Operation Tigwirane Manja 2023", the relief efforts after cyclone Freddy hit Malawi in March 2023.

Founded in 2013 as successor to Air Malawi (active between 1963 and late 2012), Malawian Airlines is a joint venture between Ethiopian Airlines (holding a 49% share) and the Malawi Government, owing 51%. ET-AQB shown here was leased from Ethiopian between January 2014 and October 2023, the month it was replaced by a leased Ethiopian B737-700 (registered ET-AVP). In 2016, the titles on ET-AQB were slightly changed from "Malawian" to simply "Malawi".

In the background is a Central African Airways Viscount with Air Malawi stairs in front. CAA had become an operating company for Air Malawi, Air Rhodesia, and Zambia Airways with each airline's titles applied depending on the flight. Photographer unknown
