PROFLIGHT and South Africa Airways have signed an interline agreement that will allow passengers to travel on both airlines with a single booking, on a single ticket.
Proflight director of government and industry affairs, Captain Philip Lemba (retired), says the agreement will allow passengers to make seamless bookings from anywhere in Zambia to destinations serviced by Proflight and SAA. “South Africa is an important hub for travelers in the region and this agreement with SAA enables Proflight passengers to book seamlessly from anywhere in Zambia to destinations across the SAA network; and indeed
overseas travelers can book and travel straight to their final destination within Zambia,” Captain Lemba stated.

Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
