Hi Josh just to let you know the statue is not Nelson Mandela that is (OR) Oliver Reginald Tambo that is why they named it OR Tambo International Airport.

Interesting thought on the Airtags. I am now thinking of buying some after British Airways lost my luggage and had no clue where it was at.

[@swampcat0712]

having worked in the airline industry, there's so many things that could go wrong with finding your luggage. I'm getting one too. great idea. airlines really do try to track lost luggage, it was a part of my job with frontier in san diego. but what do you do when someone accidentally grabs the wrong bag - or does it on purpose?

[@tavita8699]

So impressed with Malawi Airlines Ethopian has surely influenced the success of this tiny airline. The food look tasty and plenty of it ofcourse the aircraft are dated but the service compensates for a well used cabin Such an interesting vlog Josh Thank you P.S.Josh as a heavy set disabled passenger your bathroom reviews are so important for me to judge if especially on longhaul flights that I can use the facilites so please continue the reviews 👍

[@kevincarlson4562]

I knew when he mentioned Ethiopian Airlines it'd be a positive review.EAL was one of the best airlines I've ever flown.And it's a prime example of that legendary African hospitality.

[@praisemakhubele3784]

That statue at the start of the video is not nelson Mandela but is O.R Tambo whom that airport is named after him. He was one of the founder of the big political party in Africa called ANC

[@johnattersley2135]

Well done! It is nice to see, after your previous run of airlines in Africa, that Malawi Air can stand shoulder to shoulder with what many airlines in Europe and North America can offer - and I mean that of the best of them. Well done Malawi Air. Look forward to your next adventure.

[@chiragmodha2042]

Thank you for an awesome video Josh, I’ve got family who are born/from Malawi and this is like another home. I’ve not been back since 98 and it’s great to see somewhere close to my heart being shown like this. You have a new subscriber in me. Thanks Josh

Love this video. As a Malawian, I love our flag bearer and always loved the on flight meals. Can't wait for our nations aviation future. 👏👏

[@swampcat0712]

I think the bag tags that track your luggage is a fantastic idea! having worked for an airline and in an airport that wasn't diligent about making sure people grabbed the right bags, this would be a perfect solution. once I had a passenger that was flying in for a funeral, and they were doing a photo video of her mother who had died. all of her old photographs of her mother were in her luggage. she was hysterical, and rightly so. fortunately, the person that had grabbed her bag accidently, brought it back. with the tracker this would've been eliminated, and you wouldn't have to rely on the honesty of that person. in her case she got lucky. I'm getting one. did you post a link?

[@user-jwhf]

They used (as Air Malawi) to have a VC10 and and a BAC 1-11. Awesome VC10 (ex British Caledonian) but too expensive to operate and discontinued in 1979. Also a couple of HS748s and a Vickers Viscount which I recall seeing heading off from Blantyre to Harare on 3 engines for repairs. The VC10 did regular London Gatwick via Amsterdam and Nairobi to Blantyre. Also to the Seychelles and Jo’burg.

Are you ever concerned when flying some of these relatively unknown airlines? I mean, airworthiness must be in the back of your mind at times. Also, I don't mean this as a question for Malawi specifically. I mean for small airlines in general.

I can understand what you said. For this particular airline & its ✈️ are out sourced and maintained by Ethiopian Airlines which has hundreds of planes, maintenance facilities that serves beyond its own.

I am Kenyan working and living in Malawi. I frequently travel on this plane between Nairobi and Lilongwe. As someone who has experienced the life here and also someone who comes from around Lake Victoria, if Chambo is Tilapia, we also have a tilapia species in Lake Victoria that tastes much better. Chambo got some small small bones that might be dangerous if you’re not used to eating fish. Generally, Malawi is nice with very amazing and loving people. Cheers.

A loo review can also give an indication of an airlines overall cleanliness. If I saw a review of an airline with overall bad cleaned toilets I’d probably avoid that airline.

We have so much respect for our leaders (the past and the present)! If every Tanzanian spoke English, I am sure this video would be disliked heavily and wouldn't have been supported Nobody knows why our Ex President died, nobody knows how and when he died! You don't expect to ironically speak things just because you come from a country where none of your leaders are respected! And this stems to every westerner around the globe who wishes to do our country's image Harm! I promise Josh Cahill, if majority of Tanzanians spoke English, your video could have been highly disregarded. We Respect our leaders, and yes, in our country, not all the leaders are perfect, but that doesn't mean you should speak for us, we Tanzanians speak for ourselves! You don't understand how influential our Ex president was, despite his flaws but we still spoke so highly of him, he considered his people unable to bare the consequences of Lockdown, he touched the heart of the poor to the rich, he knew our economy could deteriorate for one after the other, that's why he did what he had to do and the westerners sought his image otherwise!

Loved the video and brings back great memories of my teenage years in Malawi, spent many hours on that viewing balcony at Chileka and flew on the old BAC 1-11 a few times. Malawian's excel with service, it's not called the 'Warm Heart of Africa' for nothing. As I understand the 747SP had a great backstory where it was leased from SA Airways for one journey for the then President, Dr H Kamuzu Banda's visit to the UK in 1985. It was repainted in Air Malawi colours (loved the logo back on the old Air Malawi) and flew to London via Schiphol and then back to Johannesburg, never ever touching Malawian soil, where the lease ended!
