Malawi Airlines or Malawian Airlines?

edit

I'm having difficulty seeing what is the actual name, considering the airline has no official website as of yet and there is inconsistency as to press mentions:

These articles/pages use Malawi Airlines:

While these use use Malawian Airlines:

Google has 29,800 results for Malawi Airlines while it has 25,300 results for Malawian Airlines. From the sources those saying Malawian seem a bit more official but the overall name is unclear. Simfan34 (talk) 19:15, 9 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Aircraft liveries show the name "Malawian", so there's no more to discuss. I've moved back the article to "Malawian Airlines" and requested indefinite move protection ([1]).--Jetstreamer Talk 16:15, 19 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Ownership

edit

Also confusing is the ownership structure. It is certain that 49% will be owned by Ethiopian Airlines. But the remaining 51% is unclear. Some sources say that the 51% will belong to the Government entirely, while others say 31% will be allocated to Malawian investors.It is unclear whether that is 31% of the 51%, ~16%, or 31% of the whole. Some sources also suggest they will own those shares through the government- it is completely confusing! Why must African journalism be so unclear!? Gaah! --Simfan34 (talk) 19:15, 9 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
