Proflight Zambia, the only domestic scheduled airline in Zambia ventures into Malawi as it launches its first international route, Lusaka – Lilongwe on June 4.
The airline will operate a three-times-a-week service to Lilongwe from Lusaka and adds to its
domestic points in Zambia, including Lusaka, Livingstone, Ndola and Mfuwe.
“Proflight Zambia has grown from a solid base and is now looking forward to
bringing its services to Malawi,” said the airline’s Director of Government
and Industry Affairs Capt. Philip Lemba. “We expect that the new three-times
a week service will boost trade and tourism ties between the two countries,
with all the economic benefits that brings.”
Flights to Lilongwe from the Zambian capital will operate on Mondays,
Tuesdays and Thursdays, departing from Lilongwe at 17:55 and arriving in
Lusaka at 19:35. The in-bound flight leaves Lusaka at 15:30 and arrives in
Lilongwe at 17:10 on the same days.
The service also provides seamless connections to and from Emirates flights,
which arrive in Lusaka from Dubai at 14:25 and depart from Lusaka for Dubai
at 21:25 daily.
Return fares from Lusaka to Lilongwe start from around US$266 and will
operate initially with Proflight’s 29-seater Jetstream 41 aircraft.
