  • PROFLIGHT ZAMBIA CELEBRATES 20 YEARS OF SCHEDULED SERVICE When Chief Pilot, Captain Preller Kopolo, reflects on Proflight Zambia’s 20 years of operations, he speaks not just of two decades in the skies but of a legacy rooted in aviation excellence and connecting Zambia’s cities, towns, and industries to support national growth ambitions. From its first turboprop aircraft to the sleek hum of today’s jetliners, Proflight Zambia has steadily delivered safe, reliable, and affordable connectivity across the nation and region. Commemorating its 20th anniversary of scheduled services, the airline continues to demonstrate vision, resilience, and sustainable management in building homegrown enterprises that spur economic growth, create employment, empower communities, and transform aspirations into tangible progress. Humble Beginnings “It all began in June 2005 with Captain Tony Irwin’s vision to transition to scheduled services. He acquired a British Aerospace Jetstream 32 and sought out seasoned pilots. I was honoured when he called me back to Zambia to help bring that vision to life,” recalls Capt. Kopolo. Previously, Proflight Zambia operated primarily a charter service catering to bespoke travellers, cargo operators and tourism excursions. But as Zambia’s economy grew – driven by developments in mining, business, agriculture, and tourism – so did demand for dependable, cost-effective domestic air links. Recognising this gap, Irwin assembled a small, determined team of three pilots, two cabin crew, and a single 18-seat Jetstream 32. The inaugural routes connected Lusaka with Ndola, Livingstone, Mfuwe and Solwezi, and later expanded to Chipata. Taking Flight Born in 1960, Capt. Preller Kopolo’s aviation journey began on his 19th birthday aboard a Zambia Airways Boeing 707 bound for the UK: “That flight on 26 October 1979 changed everything.” Read more... https://lnkd.in/d96rMDsv #ProflightZambia #FlyZambia #PlaneSmart #Anniversary

  • At Proflight Zambia, we don't pay lip service to sustainability: it’s central to how we operate every day. We have introduced compostable cutlery on board and collect water bottles for recycling through local partners – small changes that add up to real impact: supporting local enterprise, reducing waste, and helping keep Zambia’s skies a little greener. But our commitment to responsible travel doesn’t stop there. Through partnerships with conservation organisations, we’ve flown school groups from the Lower Zambezi to Lusaka to take part in wildlife education camps, helping inspire the next generation to protect Zambia’s natural heritage. And by maintaining routes into remote national parks like Kafue and South Luangwa, we help sustain conservation‑based tourism that supports rural jobs and protects endangered species. For us, sustainable aviation is about practical action: from how we cater meals, to how we plan routes, to how we give back. Because flying smart means protecting what matters most: Zambia’s people, places, and future. flyzambia.com #ProflightZambia #FlyZambia #ForTheFuture

  • PROFLIGHT ZAMBIA FLIES TO WINDHOEK Proflight Zambia is expanding its regional footprint with the launch of a new route into Namibia’s capital, Windhoek. The new service, starting on March 3, 2026, will operate three times weekly, providing added travel options and convenient links between Zambia and Namibia from Lusaka via Livingstone. This development is expected to significantly boost both leisure and business travel between the two countries, with Proflight Zambia being the only carrier operating direct flights along the route. Proflight Zambia will operate three weekly flights on the route on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays: Lusaka – Windhoek                  08:30 – 11:35 Livingstone – Windhoek           09:55 – 11:35 Windhoek – Livingstone           12:20 – 13:55 Windhoek – Lusaka                  12:20 – 15:20 The Lusaka–Windhoek route will include a brief 30-minute stopover, during which passengers will remain on board, before continuing to their destination while the Livingstone–Windhoek route will operate as a direct service. Passengers will also benefit from seamless morning connections from Ndola to Windhoek, as well as evening connections from Windhoek to Ndola, Solwezi, and Mfuwe. This scheduling allows for convenient and flexible travel plans, making it easier for passengers to explore the cultural and natural wonders of Zambia and Namibia, and underscores Proflight Zambia’s commitment to strengthening regional ties, promoting tourism and business opportunities within Southern Africa. “Proflight Zambia continues to invest in network expansion and is excited to give travellers more choice destinations and greater travel flexibility. The introduction of flights to Windhoek supports growing demand for reliable, comfortable, and efficient travel options in the Southern African region. Namibia is an important neighbour and trade partner, and this route will make travel between our countries more seamless — whether for tourism, business, or family,” said Proflight Zambia Director of Flight Operations Captain Josias Walubita. “Not only does this route bring together two iconic destinations such as the Victoria Falls and the Namib Desert, but it also strengthens the aviation bridge across Southern Africa, as well as builds on Proflight’s commitment to unlocking Zambia’s potential as a tourism and trade hub,” he added.
