Staff Writer  Proflight Zambia will introduce non-stop flights on all three weekly services between Lusaka and Windhoek from November 2026 to reflect seasonal demand, saving passengers about an hour of travel time between the two capitals.   The routing through Livingstone – a direct link between Namibia and the Victoria Falls – serves the April-to-October peak tourism season each year, when visitor numbers are at their highest.  From November to March, when demand eases, the service flies non-stop, with flights leaving Lusaka at 10:35 am on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, arriving in Windhoek at 12:40 pm. The return service departs Windhoek at 1:20 pm and lands in Lusaka at 3:30 pm. From 2027, the days of operation will shift to Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.  Proflight Zambia’s Director of Government and Industry Affairs, Capt. Josias Walubita said: “From November 2026, Proflight Zambia flights between Lusaka and Windhoek will operate non-stop for the tourism low season. This change reflects our continued efforts to tailor our services to passenger demand and travel patterns, making journeys between the two capitals quicker and more convenient.”  The tourist capital of Zambia and gateway to Victoria Falls – the world’s largest curtain of falling water – Livingstone is served by Proflight Zambia’s domestic flights from Lusaka, with the entire Windhoek to Livingstone journey booked as a single itinerary.   “Passengers travelling to Livingstone can still connect easily through Lusaka using our existing domestic flights,” said captain Walubita. “This means we are making travel between Zambia and Namibia more direct, while ensuring that Livingstone, one of Zambia’s key tourism destinations, remains easily accessible to both local and international travellers throughout the year.”    The schedule also provides Namibian travellers with one-stop access to Proflight Zambia’s domestic network through Lusaka, including the Copperbelt city of Ndola and the mining town of Solwezi, with connecting flights to and from both destinations timed to coincide with the Windhoek service.  Proflight Zambia, established in 2005 and an IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) registered and an IATA member airline.  The airline operates five Bombardier CRJ-200 50 seat jets, one Bombardier CRJ-100 parcel freighter jet, and seven BAE Jetstream 41 29 seat turbo prop aircraft.

Staff Writer Proflight Zambia, which flies to Namibia has acquired three BAE Jetstream 41 29-seat turboprop aircraft from Eastern Airways, expanding its total aircraft fleet to 13.  The acquisition increases the airline’s Jetstream 41 fleet from four to seven aircraft.  The additional aircraft allow Proflight Zambia to add more frequency and capacity to its domestic network, supporting the airline’s efforts to improve connectivity, schedule reliability and convenience for passengers. The additional aircraft also create the potential for new domestic and international routes next year. Crucially, the expanded fleet provides greater redundancy, which safeguards schedule reliability and passenger convenience.  “Proflight Zambia welcomes the additional three BAE Jetstream 41 29-seat turboprop aircraft, which have now been flown home to Lusaka by our very own crew,” said Captain Josias Walubita, Proflight Zambia’s Director Government and Industry Affairs.  “The purchase of these aircraft will enable the airline to meet growing local demand and support our commitment to providing safe and reliable connectivity across Zambia, even as the country targets a 20% growth in its domestic tourism in 2026. We are extremely proud of our flight and maintenance crew who successfully ferried the three aircraft from North Lincolnshire, UK to Lusaka, Zambia.”  As the Jetstream 41 is already an established part of Proflight Zambia’s fleet, the airline has the existing operational, maintenance and crew capability to support the additional aircraft, enabling a smooth integration into its current operations.  “The aircraft were successfully placed on the Zambian register and issued their 9J registrations before departing the UK. Proflight Zambia appreciates the cooperation of the relevant authorities in Zambia and the UK throughout the process” added Capt. Walubita.  Proflight Zambia said it continues to be a key player in the Southern African aviation industry. As both domestic and regional demand for air travel grows, increased frequencies, improved connectivity, direct routings, and efficient and streamlined services are among the key considerations that the airline is working to leverage as Zambia moves to position itself as an aviation hub.  Proflight Zambia, established in 2005 and operating from its base in Lusaka, its domestic routes and international flights include South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia, operating between Lusaka and Johannesburg, Lusaka and Cape Town (via Livingstone), Livingstone and Cape Town direct, Lusaka and Windhoek (via Livingstone), Livingstone and Windhoek direct, with seasonal safari routes operating between Lusaka and Maun (via Livingstone) and between Livingstone and Maun. The airline operates five Bombardier CRJ-200 50 seat jets, one Bombardier CRJ-100 parcel freighter jet, and seven BAE Jetstream 41 29 seat turbo prop aircraft.
