Proflight Announces Schedule Enhancements:
More Flight Options to Boost Connectivity and Convenience
Proflight Zambia has announced a series of schedule enhancements across its domestic and regional network, strengthening connectivity and improving travel flexibility and comfort for passengers.
The updates reinforce Zambia’s leading scheduled airline’s commitment to meeting growing passenger demand and optimising its operations for both business and leisure travellers.
Proflight Zambia will continue operating its current twice-daily flights between Lusaka and Johannesburg, a key route for regional business and international connectivity. To further accommodate peak season travel, the airline has reinstated a third daily flight on Saturdays and Sundays and selected holiday-season dates to facilitate connections with long-haul flights to destinations such as Australia and the USA.
The new evening service – flight P0028 from Lusaka to Johannesburg will depart at 16:30 and arrive at 18:30. In contrast, the return flight P0029 will depart Johannesburg at 20:30 and arrive in Lusaka at 22:30. This service will operate on Saturdays and Sundays from 27 September 2025 through the first week of January. Additionally, these flights will run on selected weekdays (Monday to Friday) during the holiday peak period from 1 December 2025 to 3 January 2026, offering seamless connections and eliminating the need for overnight layovers in Johannesburg.
Proflight Zambia continues to service its popular Cape Town route with direct flights from Lusaka to Cape Town via Livingstone, and vice versa. From 7 August 2025, flight timings will shift slightly later to better reflect traveller preferences, with P0050 departing Lusaka at 07:15, stopping over in Livingstone at 08:40, and arriving in Cape Town at 11:40. On the return leg, P0051 will depart Cape Town at 12:35, stop in Livingstone at 15:25, and arrive in Lusaka at 16:50. A third weekly frequency will be added from 18 October 2025 on Saturdays.
In response to growing demand from Zambia’s corporate and mining sectors, Proflight Zambia has increased frequencies on its key domestic routes. The airline now operates over 35 return flights between Lusaka and Ndola, 15 flights weekly to Solwezi, and 12 weekly to Kalumbila. These schedule enhancements are part of Proflight Zambia’s continued commitment to supporting economic activity and ensuring frequent, reliable, efficient connectivity across Zambia’s key industrial regions.
“These schedule enhancements directly reflect our ongoing efforts to improve connectivity and efficiency across our network. By listening to passenger feedback and closely monitoring demand trends, we are positioning the airline to serve passengers better, while keeping reliability, safety, and comfort at the core of our operations,” said Proflight Zambia Director of Flight Operations Captain Josias Walubita.
