Old Lilongwe Airport, designated by the ICAO code FWLE, is a former civil aerodrome located in Lilongwe, the capital city of Malawi. It was the city's primary air facility before being replaced by Kamuzu International Airport (FWKI), which was developed to handle the growing demands of the capital following Lilongwe's designation as Malawi's new capital in the early 1970s. The airport is no longer in regular commercial passenger service and has largely fallen out of active use for scheduled aviation. It may retain limited utility for light aircraft, private operations, or government purposes, though detailed current operational information is scarce. Because it predates the modern capital's infrastructure development and was superseded decades ago, comprehensive historical records regarding its founding date and full operational history are not widely documented in publicly available sources.
