\nAccording to a statement from the president’s office, the Malawi Defense Force aircraft “went off the radar” after departing from the nation’s capital, Lilongwe, on Monday, June 10, 2024.<\/p>\n

Reports stated that the president ordered a search and rescue operation when aviation officials lost contact with the aircraft.<\/p>\n

It was scheduled to land at Mzuzu International Airport, in the northern region of the country, shortly after 10:00 local time (11:00 BST).<\/p>\n

Upon learning of the incident, Malawi’s President Lazarus Chakwera cancelled his planned flight to the Bahamas.<\/p>\n

Below is the statement from Capital Hill in Lilongwe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Capital Hill, Lilongwe – The Office of the President and Cabinet wishes to inform the general public that the Malawi Defense Force Aircraft that left Lilongwe today, Monday 10th June 2024 at 09:17 Hours, carrying the Vice President, the Right Honourable Dr. Saulos Klaus Chilima, and nine others, failed to make its scheduled landing at Mzuzu International Airport at 10:02.<\/p>\n

All efforts by aviation authorities to make contact with the Aircraft since it went off the radar have failed thus far. As such, the Commander of the Malawi Defense Force, General Valentino Phiri, has since informed His Excellency Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera of the incident and the President has since canceled his scheduled departure for the Bahamas and ordered all regional and national agencies to conduct an immediate search and rescue operation to locate the whereabouts of the aircraft.<\/p>\n

The public will be updated of any developments on the situation as facts are established.<\/p>\n
