SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS 
Maintenance at Blantyre’s Chileka International Airport continue to affect SAA’s operations. From 31 August to 31 October, SAA customers will travel between Johannesburg and Lilongwe on an SAA-operated aircraft, and then between Lilongwe and Blantyre on an Ethiopian Airlines flight.
The two airlines share a partnership that allows seamless connection between the two carriers. Re-ticketing must be completed on or before 02 September. A full refund of the unused portion/ticket will only be considered once other alternate flight options have been considered.
