More direct flights between SA and Malawi

Malawian Airlines has added direct flights to Johannesburg from both Lilongwe and Blantyre, due to popular demand. The airline previously operated flights to Johannesburg from Lilongwe via Blantyre.

The flights will operate on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Flight 3W024 departs Lilongwe at 08h00 and arrives in Johannesburg at 10h30. Return flight 3W025 departs Johannesburg at 18h20 and arrives in Lilongwe at 20h50. Flight 3W027 departs Johannesburg 11h25 and arrives in Blantyre at 13h40 and return flight 3W026 departs Blantyre at 15h05 and arrives in Johannesburg at 17h20.

Flights are operated by a B737-800 with 138 economy-class seats and 16 business-class seats.

Malawian Airlines launched flights in February last year. It rebranded in 2013, following the collapse of Air Malawi and a subsequent partnership with Ethiopian Airlines, which owns 49% of the new airline.
