Proflight Zambia begins a new route from Lusaka to Dar-es-Salaam

Proflight Zambia begins a new route from Lusaka to Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania on Wednesday (October 23).

The three-times-a-week service marks the second international destination for Zambia’s growing local airline, which started flying to Lilongwe in Malawi in June.

“Proflight’s new route to Dar-es-Salaam builds an important link between Zambia and Tanzania which will strengthen business ties and boost two-way travel between our respective tourist destinations,” said Proflight director of government and industry affairs Capt. Philip Lemba. “This is undoubtedly the fastest, most comfortable and affordable way to travel between the two cities.”

Flights will depart from Lusaka’s Kenneth Kaunda International Airport on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, returning the same days and return fares start from K3,502 including taxes.

Flight P00020 departs from Lusaka at 08:00hrs on Mondays and Fridays, and at 12:00hrs on Wednesdays, arriving at Dar-es-Salaam’s Julius Nyerere International Airport at 12:20hrs and 16:20hrs respectively, making it a journey of three hours and 20 minutes, given the one-hour time difference in Tanzania.

The return P00021 flight leaves Dar-es-Salaam on the same days at 13:00hrs on Mondays and Fridays and 17:00hrs on Wednesdays, arriving in Lusaka at 15:20hrs and 19:20hrs respectively, enabling smooth connections onto Proflight’s afternoon flights to Mfuwe, Livingstone and Ndola.An additional Lusaka-Dar flight will be operated on Thursday, October 24 to mark Independence Day.
