Transport in Malawi is poorly developed. The country of almost 14 million has 39 airports, 6 with paved runways and 33 with unpaved runways. It has 495 miles (797 km) of railways, all narrow-gauge and about 45 percent of its roads are paved. Though it is landlocked, Malawi also has 435 miles (700 km) of waterways on Lake Malawi and along the Shire River. The Central East African Railways Company (CEAR) operates limited passenger services between Limbe, Balaka, and Nayuchi (border with Mozambique), and freight service between Lilongwe, Blantyre, and the Mozambican port of Nacala. A track extension connects Malawi’s network to the Zambian network, but there is not yet any scheduled service to Zambia.
