Proflight Zambia will start direct flights to Durban from next month, linking Lusaka to the home of Africa’s busiest port and one of its most popular tourist destinations. The latest route is part of the airline’s strategy to expand across Southern Africa, making Lusaka a hub for air travel throughout the region.
From September 22, Proflight will fly to Durban three times a week, using its 50-seater CRJ-100 aircraft. If demand proves strong, the airline hopes to add a fourth weekly flight to the Lusaka-Durban schedule.
On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, P0024 will depart from Lusaka at 11:00, arriving in Durban at 13:30. The returning P0025 flight will leave Durban at 14:10 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, arriving in Lusaka at 16:40. On Sundays, P0023 will leave Durban- at 12:00 and arrive back in Lusaka at 13:30
