Travellers looking for Lilongwe to Johannesburg flights will have another option from 24 August 2026, when Malawi Airlines introduces an additional direct service between Malawi and South Africa.
The additional service will operate six days a week, from Tuesday to Sunday, with an afternoon departure from Lilongwe and an evening return from Johannesburg.
New Lilongwe–Johannesburg flight schedule
The new Malawi Airlines service operates at the following times:
- Lilongwe – Johannesburg: 16:50 – 19:05
- Johannesburg – Lilongwe: 20:00 – 22:15
- Frequency: Tuesday to Sunday
- Starts: 24 August 2026
The new direct return flight complements Malawi Airlines' existing morning service between Lilongwe and Johannesburg, which operates via Blantyre.
For travellers, the new afternoon departure provides more flexibility when planning a trip between Malawi and South Africa, while the evening return flight allows for a full day in Johannesburg before flying back to Lilongwe.
The additional service also offers another option for travellers using Johannesburg as a gateway for onward travel in South Africa and elsewhere in Southern Africa.
Flight times and fares can change, so check the latest Malawi Airlines schedule before booking.
