South African Airways (SAA) will resume direct flights between South Africa and Malawi from March 16, following an agreement with the High Commission of Malawi in Pretoria.
SAA started selling tickets on Monday and announced that, as of next month, passengers traveling to Lilongwe could fly directly from Johannesburg. The announcement was made by Professor John Lamola, the Airline’s CEO, during a meeting with Stella Ndau, the High Commissioner of Malawi to South Africa.
During the meeting, Professor Lamola expressed SAA’s plans to resume flights on this route and the importance of its relationship with Malawi. South Africa and Malawi are active members of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), a league of Southern African nations meant to achieve economic development, peace, and security within the region.
