Proflight adds Mongu to its network

Mongu this week becomes the tenth domestic destination in Proflight Zambia's expanding schedule of routes.

The service, which was launched on Wednesday, November 27 is the first new local route for the airline since commencing Mansa and Kasama routes more than two years ago, and means that passengers can now fly to the capitals of all the provinces in Zambia that have designated airports.

“The addition of Mongu to Proflight Zambia’s schedule is long overdue and has been received enthusiastically by travellers,” said Proflight director of government and industry affairs Capt. Philip Lemba. “We can now say that we cover the length and breadth of the country.”

Proflight’s twice-a-week service from Lusaka to Mongu will run on Wednesdays and Thursdays, leaving Lusaka at 07:45 on Wednesdays and arriving in Mongu at 10:05, before returning at 10:25 and arriving back in Lusaka at 12:45 on the same day. On Thursdays the flight leaves Lusaka at 12:35 and arrives in Mongu at 14:55, returning at 15:15 and touching down in Lusaka at 15:35.

The service will be operated using a 12-seater Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft.

Return fares from Lusaka to Mongu start from around K3,502 including taxes.
