It follows a series of engagements and negotiations between SAA and the Mission.<\/p>\n<p>During the visit, Prof Lamola expressed enthusiasm that SAA will finally be operating on this route as the challenges they have had were being resolved.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that the national flag carrier has had to restructure and one of the focus areas was promotion of AFCTA within the SADC region and hence the rigorous planning that preceded the resumption of flights.<\/p>\n<p>He commended Malawi High Commission for its efforts, commitment, and collaboration in ensuring the resumption of SAA\u2019s flights to Malawi. On her part, Her Excellency Mrs. Stella Ndau commended SAA for its decision saying it signified renewed confidence that South African businesses have in the operating environment in Malawi.<\/p>\n<p>She also reiterated that the resumption of flights will contribute to the improvement of the tourism and transport sectors as stipulated in the MW2063 Agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited with this development which we believe will ensure that Malawi should remain as one of the most affordable tourist destinations in the region. This will certainly compliment Government\u2019s efforts of improving our economy,\u201d said Ndau.
