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.
So impressed with Malawi Airlines Ethopian has surely influenced the success of this tiny airline.

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.
As a Malawian it's awesome of you to have done your research on the airline, the sight of the former Air Malawi livery put a tear to my eye 🥲 Appreciate you taking the time to fly with our airline however small. Ulendo wabwino 🇲🇼🇲🇼🇲🇼
Your videos are always the best💯 I do receive a notification each time you post a new video.. We'll have regrets for things we did not participate in...Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
Nice content mate! So happy to announce that I have gained financial freedom by investing in digital currency. Now I know that multi creation of various streams of income is the ideal Principle for financial sustainability.
Despite the collapse in crypto, I strongly believe that Crypto is the future, lots of people will kick their legs finding out they would have joined the crypto space now it's still affordable. It provides a lot of opportunities. A huge pump is coming, I'm presently taking advantage of its dip
Agree with you digital currencies that were once viewed as mysterious by many in the past went sky high making millions of dollars for a lot of people including I. It'll definitely do that soon

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.
Hello bro I’d love to ask certain questions about Malawi. I plan on moving there soon. How can I contact you? IG? Email? WhatsApp ? Please drop a reply, thanks. 🤝
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?
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
Malawi Airlines, well done after Josh's loo reviews in Nigeria it was a huge embarrassment (as I have roots there). At least some people in Africa are conducting themselves in a professional manner.
Interesting video. Great to see them serving food not like our stingy European airlines. Love the loo reviews as they say so much about how an airline looks after its passengers
Correction: thats not Nelson Mandela thats Oliver R Tambo. Its is the man who the airport is named after. He was the president of the ANC in exile through most of apartheid whilst Mandela was in prison.
Lol Josh that’s not Nelson Mandela at 0:46, that’s Oliver Reginald Tambo, one of Mandela’s many compatriot in the fight against apartheid. He’s the man the O.R. Tambo International Airport is named after. I’m South African so I know ..nice video otherwise. What a surprisingly lovely airline from Malawi😊
Alright, I'm gonna admit it, I actually don't skip loo reviews, I find your videos so entertaining that I always watch the whole thing and never skip. Keep the loo reviews coming! 😂
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.
I think its a great indicator of Overall maintenance. If there is evidence they try to keep up to date, that's a great sign. Dated or signs of use in last day, not a problem. No deep clean for months, hmm.
In the future I would love to see you do an airline tour of the pacific, there is a bunch of amazing and exotic airlines like Calin air, Air Vanuatu, Fiji airways, Nauru airlines and Solomon airlines (just to name a few) it would be very cool and all of them are pretty rare airlines (some more then others) and there’s a very limited amount of videos on each.
What a nice flight. I haven’t gone to Africa yet but I see it is a beautiful continent. And yes, the restroom review it’s important, so everyone can see how careful is the airline with that.
Update; Malawi gov has procured 2 planes from China. Details are yet to emerge whether the planes will goto Malawian airlines. And 5 New airlines will launch in August. 😬 Overall Great review 🙌🏽 Proud they didn't pull an air peace on you 😂
Great review on Malawi Airlines Josh👍🏻 For a 2hrs flight and serving decent meal by them during this tough time was amazing👌🏻 Keep up the great work Malawi Airlines 💯 Hmm that guy who picked you looks familiar i have seen him somewhere in Dar🤣
It's interesting how the airlines (as far as crew, service, and airport staff) differ from place to place in Africa. Nice to see that the crew of Malawi are doing such a fine job.
Malawi is one of the 5 poorest countries on earth. It's impressive that the country is able to operate a flagship carrier with such good and reliable service, even if it only has 2 aircraft.
The Malawi airline aircraft bear the Echo Tango registration. They are on the Ethiopian civil register, and they are flown by an Ethiopian licensed crew. Ethiopian is doing a good job by extending a lifeline to a small African airline.
Pleasant airline with a great service ethic. Used to fly in and out of Chileka with BOAC long ago. It was nostalgic seeing the terminal building there.
You should have spent a few days in Malawi. Taking a swim in Lake Malawi with all the tropical fish and seeing some wildlife. Why fly to a country only to spend a few hours in an airport lounge. Go stay at a bush lodge and then do a review on that as well. Maybe that can become your new style of videos. Review aircraft AND accommodation :)
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.
I did the exact same 3 years ago! The second plane was delayed for 5 hours, I don't remember if they sent another one to replace it or if we just waited for the original one. Edit: I even tried the fish LMAO Edit 2: glad they upgraded the malawian airport, when I went the batrooms didn't even had running water.
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?
Quite interesting as one who was born in Blantyre many moons ago but who no longer lives in the country. Had many a flight in & out of Chileka Airport both during my youth & in my adult days too. Makes me nostalgic seeing this but noticed the very small terminal building at the airport now has a glass front upstairs in the viewing area which it never had before.
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
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!
Wonderful that you flew this little jewel. I flew them once from Dar via Blantyre to Lilongwe and absolutely loved them. I really hope they acquire 1 or 2 widebodies, there are some opportunities to offer a direct flight to London and to India, maybe with a stoppover in Mozambique or Tanzania
New subscriber here ☝ first of all thanks for the good reviews of our flagship carrier after getting bad reviews recently I am glad Malawian airlines has upped it's game and can compete the European budget airlines.Josh Come back next time to swim in our lake and eat chambo
Denisa Muna & Josh Cahill, and every other westerner! These westerners don't understand whether what they say would distort the image of the country 🇹🇿 or not! What John Cahill said was like Mocking the country and her Ex Leader whom we loved so deary despite of his flaws! And not every country upholds such mockery! 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! I am proudly a Tanzanian 🇹🇿, na natamani watanzania wote tujiunge kupinga Upuuzi wa hawa wazungu!
The ex-president of Tanzania The honourable John Magufuli did not pass away from COVID 19. He openly spoke about his death in a speech months before he passed away.
Wow...Talapia is the same name used for that fish in Sri Lanka too...really surprised by that...thanks for the information from that Malawi gentleman...
you said malawian airline should start managing ET hahahahah. don't you know that you are negligible considering millions of passengers happy with Ethiopian airlines. you have a problem may be or you don't like comfort.
Hi Josh. I enjoy your flight reports very much. May I correct you on one part of the Malawi flight. At the start of the program, you point to a statue of Oliver R Tambo and say that Nelson Mandela is welcoming visitors. Not too important but I just thought I would mention it. Keep up the good work. You are a true professional. Best regards.
Just love your flight review videos Josh, I booked for a 5 hours flight from Sydney to Perth Australia this October on a Jetstar A320 Flight for a 10 days trip very excited haven’t being travel almost 3 years because of the pandemic I used to travel very often. You should come to Australia again.
Some Loo Reviews are pretty amazing (on, like, Etihad), and some are pretty scary. I may be weird, but I enjoy them! Oh, and any airport that gets serviced by a John Deere tractor deserves a 👍in my book!
With the ex president of Tanzania, it is actually still a mystery- I lived in Tz in that time and they were actually saying he died of heart disease, as he was having a very bad heart disease. Although I also tend to believe it was covid. It was crazy right then, the cases of a "mysterious pneumonia/bad flu" were rising, oxygen was hard to find in hospital but people still would not believe in covid :) . Not far from where I was staying, they "transformed" an old hospital and they were taking there people with covid who also had other related health issues (especially pulmonary/diabetes/heart problems) and they were practically waiting for them to die, as they had no available treatment for them 😔.
The govt that the late president headed did not accept there was Covid at the time...so it was obvious that reason given as cause to his death was any other ailment other than Covid 19.
@@Smfb123at A very genuinely short answer for his genuinely questions he asked and wanted to know about, he should not talk again on public the things he is not surely
I remember flying with Air Malawi in the 1980s. It was a prop plane and quite turbulent - there were a couple of stomach-in-your mouth moments. Good to see they're still going
Loo reviews are not pointless. I seen you do a loo review with a loo with a view. I was like, yes, we need that. They need to position the toilet where we can sit, take care of business and look out in the clouds. 😂
I love your videos. You were extremely lucky Josh. I have travelled into/out of Malawi many times over the last 20 years, so speak out of real experience, when I write that this is a f***ing shitty airline, who operate more like a minibus than an airline. We nicknamed them "Air Where are we"! The managers/ground staff at check-in are incompetent, rude and look only for reasons to offload you. The pilots and crew are okay. They have no competition on the routes they fly i.e. J'burg, or Dar or Harare, etc. so they just do not care about schedules or timing or waiting passengers, because you have no other choice. I just wish that Malawi Government would have the "guts" to fire off Ethiopian Airlines from the JV, and open the skies to other regional or local airlines, rather than "protect" this on-going incompetence.
@@bernadettedevereux4489 No need to get derogatory. If you did some research you would know that Ethiopian Airlines are the majority shareholder and Managing Partner in Malawian Airlines.
So good to see. I remember back in the late 70's Air Malawi were the last commercial operator of the Vickers VC10, used to see it at Gatwick very early in my career as it was being readied for it's trip back to Blantyre
Nice video! Malawi Airlines is so small that I didn't even know it existed and I've been there! Flew SAA in and out of Lilongwe from Joburg. Oh, well. Next time. I love the luggage tag tracking! What a great advance. I've had my luggage go astray a few times over the years. Malawi was one of those time where I had to make do without a change of clothing for two days. Grrrr. Also, I think chambo is delicious.
Stop holding ur mic do something about that ..I love it videos ..but it's about time you look for another way to make ur audio ok without holding the mic
Malawi is doing better, most countries African countries "Zambia" in particular are not taking aviation business seriously - do a review. These videos are important to keep airlines in check 👍
I actually do like the loo review. Not that I enjoy looking at pots, but your opinion of hygiene level comes useful. Although the level will varie from routes to routes, it does give an insight to how well the airline (and the crew) actually care about hygiene and maintaining of the aircraft.
Tiplaia fish also is known as a local food in the Philippines. I didn't know they just started farming it in the 1950's before seeing that interview with the local Malawian Avgeek sitting next to Josh on the plane.
Would have loved to have AirTag from my flight from Cairo via Addis Ababa to Kilimanjaro Airport in Tanzania. Suffice to say my luggage did not arrive in Kilimnajaro and I was due for a 7 day journey into the Serengeti. Emergency stop at the gift shop to buy extra shirts and shorts. Bags finally arrived at Seronera Airstrip in the middle of the Seregenti 5 days later and just in time as well as I had run out of underwear!
I can just IMAGINE (never know what to expect on an African airline)! Apart from maintenance, crew training, and safety the food and seat covers aren't bad if frayed. You CAN'T BEAT THE HUMOR!
🤔 It is the image of the late Oliver Reginald Kaizana Tambo (27 October 1917 - 24 April 1993) was a South African anti-aparthied politician and activist who served as president of the African National Congress (ANC) from 1967 to 1991. Nice video overall
You kidding, Air Peace competes with ROW very well, I mean, hard to beat them in many ways. My grandma sure can't operate an airline worse than those guys. Give em a credit for that!
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.

Thanks Pierre, I didn't know, I thought it was good old Nelson :)
@@JoshCahill Oops!😆
Just love your flight review videos Josh, I booked for a 5 hours flight from Sydney to Perth Australia this October on a Jetstar A320 Flight for a 10 days trip very excited haven’t being travel almost 3 years because of the pandemic I used to travel very often. You should come to Australia again.
Tanzanian president died...very suspicious. Didnt want to conform with the plan?
Some Loo Reviews are pretty amazing (on, like, Etihad), and some are pretty scary. I may be weird, but I enjoy them!
Oh, and any airport that gets serviced by a John Deere tractor deserves a 👍in my book!
Airpeace? Lol! Been flying that airline (domestic). They have serious problem of delay
Rember the Air Malawi VC10 flew into Gatwick in the 1970's
Didi you say that former President of Tanzania died of Covid 19 this is the total lie, H was murdered and not Covid 19 that took him, shame on you.
With the ex president of Tanzania, it is actually still a mystery- I lived in Tz in that time and they were actually saying he died of heart disease, as he was having a very bad heart disease. Although I also tend to believe it was covid. It was crazy right then, the cases of a "mysterious pneumonia/bad flu" were rising, oxygen was hard to find in hospital but people still would not believe in covid :) . Not far from where I was staying, they "transformed" an old hospital and they were taking there people with covid who also had other related health issues (especially pulmonary/diabetes/heart problems) and they were practically waiting for them to die, as they had no available treatment for them 😔.
The govt that the late president headed did not accept there was Covid at the time...so it was obvious that reason given as cause to his death was any other ailment other than Covid 19.
You all know nothing about what's going on this country, its not your mistake by the way. That's all we can say
@@nissangtr4670 Then please, explain! (genuinely interested)
@@Tricia_K sorry cant talk about it.
@@Smfb123at A very genuinely short answer for his genuinely questions he asked and wanted to know about, he should not talk again on public the things he is not surely
I remember flying with Air Malawi in the 1980s. It was a prop plane and quite turbulent - there were a couple of stomach-in-your mouth moments. Good to see they're still going
We can compare your loo reviews with Noel Philips loo review. And it give us an idea of the cabin maintenance. Thanks
Loo reviews are not pointless. I seen you do a loo review with a loo with a view. I was like, yes, we need that. They need to position the toilet where we can sit, take care of business and look out in the clouds. 😂
I love your videos. You were extremely lucky Josh. I have travelled into/out of Malawi many times over the last 20 years, so speak out of real experience, when I write that this is a f***ing shitty airline, who operate more like a minibus than an airline. We nicknamed them "Air Where are we"! The managers/ground staff at check-in are incompetent, rude and look only for reasons to offload you. The pilots and crew are okay. They have no competition on the routes they fly i.e. J'burg, or Dar or Harare, etc. so they just do not care about schedules or timing or waiting passengers, because you have no other choice. I just wish that Malawi Government would have the "guts" to fire off Ethiopian Airlines from the JV, and open the skies to other regional or local airlines, rather than "protect" this on-going incompetence.
Ethiopian airlines????He used Malawi airlines.What are you talking about?
@@bernadettedevereux4489 No need to get derogatory. If you did some research you would know that Ethiopian Airlines are the majority shareholder and Managing Partner in Malawian Airlines.
@@bigdeal7598 Where did I get derogatory?Stop imagining things.I asked a question.
So good to see. I remember back in the late 70's Air Malawi were the last commercial operator of the Vickers VC10, used to see it at Gatwick very early in my career as it was being readied for it's trip back to Blantyre
Hahaha that is Oliver Reginald (OR) Tambo greeting arrivals in the airport terminal 😊
my girlfriend is Malawian so this very personal she works as a photographer
Loved the footage from JNB airport. As you know I love SA and I have really missed it the last 3 years.
Nice video! Malawi Airlines is so small that I didn't even know it existed and I've been there! Flew SAA in and out of Lilongwe from Joburg. Oh, well. Next time. I love the luggage tag tracking! What a great advance. I've had my luggage go astray a few times over the years. Malawi was one of those time where I had to make do without a change of clothing for two days. Grrrr. Also, I think chambo is delicious.
Stop holding ur mic do something about that ..I love it videos ..but it's about time you look for another way to make ur audio ok without holding the mic
Love your videos
Thank you Josh, love your vlogs. To me the airtags are a great idea, especially for frequent flyers. Please, please, please keep the loo reviews 😃
Malawi is doing better, most countries African countries "Zambia" in particular are not taking aviation business seriously - do a review.
These videos are important to keep airlines in check 👍
Love from nepal 🙏🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
I actually do like the loo review. Not that I enjoy looking at pots, but your opinion of hygiene level comes useful. Although the level will varie from routes to routes, it does give an insight to how well the airline (and the crew) actually care about hygiene and maintaining of the aircraft.
That fish called talapia is the best fish in my country Papua New Guinea too, not only in Malawi. Anyways it was an amazing flight. GO AIR Malawi 💪✈️
Tiplaia fish also is known as a local food in the Philippines. I didn't know they just started farming it in the 1950's before seeing that interview with the local Malawian Avgeek sitting next to Josh on the plane.
There's over 100 species of tilapia around the world. 2nd most popular fish in the US.
Shout-out to your seat neighbour he seems cool
I've been there nice ride I love malawi
You should visit BHUTAN n see the drukair or bhutan airline....
Would have loved to have AirTag from my flight from Cairo via Addis Ababa to Kilimanjaro Airport in Tanzania. Suffice to say my luggage did not arrive in Kilimnajaro and I was due for a 7 day journey into the Serengeti. Emergency stop at the gift shop to buy extra shirts and shorts. Bags finally arrived at Seronera Airstrip in the middle of the Seregenti 5 days later and just in time as well as I had run out of underwear!
I can just IMAGINE (never know what to expect on an African airline)! Apart from maintenance, crew training, and safety the food and seat covers aren't bad if frayed. You CAN'T BEAT THE HUMOR!
I’ll never understand how people can literally see millions of people dying from a disease and still think it’s not real. Unreal.
I bet you think the “vaccines “ are real vaccines too
🤔 It is the image of the late
Oliver Reginald Kaizana Tambo (27 October 1917 - 24 April 1993) was a South African anti-aparthied politician and activist who served as president of the African National Congress (ANC) from 1967 to 1991.
Nice video overall
Well, I think it is SUN AIR under a BA franchise actually...
Another outstanding video
Bruh, I saw my ex on this flight... I'm Malawian BTW...
🤣
We'd love to see a review with Congolese Airlines (Congo Airways & FlyCaa) I can recommend amazing routes
You kidding, Air Peace competes with ROW very well, I mean, hard to beat them in many ways. My grandma sure can't operate an airline worse than those guys. Give em a credit for that!
It's not Mandela greeting you entering OR Tambo. And, Tanzania's Magufuli did not die of covid-19...
He did, I was there in the same room
@@JoshCahill Indeed... I also heard that paedophiles have toilet obsessions...
Ahh amazing to see this rather unique Airlines! Keep it up Josh! I really like your Videos!
hehehe you dont want peace with air peace
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.
Malawi airlines has really improved on all aspects...And is it still a subsidiary of Ethiopian airlines?
Ethiopian Airlines bought a 49% controlling stake, including management. They have done the same with Asky of Togo. That is a very smart move.
Hi Josh!
Glad to see you showing African Airlines to the world. Looking to a review of LAM my flagship company.
Cheers from Mozambique
I love the ‘loo reviews’. I like to know which airlines keep hygiene at the top of their priorities. Xx
Air peace just had to get a stray bullet
I may live vicariously through others; I also fly through them. Father in law was a 747 TWA pilot for 35 years. I know. It’s all safe. 😂 so…thanks!
I love the loo reviews. All my favorite vloggers do them. Just ordered Air Tags for my next trip.
My fishes are from Lake Malawi.
😁
Hi,
I'm Herie from Tanzania and I live in Malindi town, Kenya.
I love making vlogs, and I have my TH-cam channel which deals with documentaries on lifestyle, traveling and tour.
I would like to reuse part of your video in my clips, if you don't mind...
