Talk:Malawi Airlines

Malawi Airlines or Malawian Airlines?

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:

• Local investors salivate on prospects to own part of Malawi Airlines - Nyasa Times
• Ethiopian Becomes Strategic Partner With New Malawi Airlines - Ethiopian Radio and Telvision Agency (This article is completely hopeless, it uses "Malawi Airlines" and "Malawian Air")
• Airline Information: Malawi Airlines - ch-aviation.ch
• Malawi Airlines Limited is launched in partnership with Ethiopian Airlines to replace Air Malawi - World Airline News
• Ethiopian Airlines buys 49pc stake in Air Malawi airlines partner - The Herald (Zimbabwe)

While these use use Malawian Airlines:

• Ethiopian Airlines in joint venture with Malawian Airlines - mwebantu.com
• Air Malawi Now To Be Called Malawian Airlines - Malawi Voice
• Ethiopian Airlines confirms Malawian Airlines joint venture - Air Transport World
• Malawian Airlines ready to launch - Routes-news"
• Air Malawi re-branded as Malawian Airlines - Malawi Broadcasting Corporation

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)

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)

Ownership

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)
