Proflight Zambia welcomed to Windhoek
Expanding footprint
By strengthening ties between the promising economic hubs, the route lays the foundation for deeper commercial partnerships and regional value chain development.
Proflight Zambia is expanding its regional footprint with the launch of a new route into Windhoek.
The new service, commencing on 3 March 2026, will operate three times a week, offering additional travel options and convenient connections between Zambia and Namibia via Lusaka and 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. 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.
Convenience
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.
The route is expected to enhance tourism, trade and investment between Namibia and Zambia, two of the region’s most vibrant and growing economies.
Zambia is one of Windhoek’s largest African origin-destination markets, with an estimated 10 000 two-way international passengers in 2024 - a 14% increase on 2023.
“We welcome Proflight Zambia to Namibia and congratulate them on this timely and vital regional route,” said Bisey /Uirab, CEO of the Namibia Airports Company (NAC) and spokesperson for Air Connect Namibia. “The new route is more than a connection between two countries, it is a powerful catalyst for regional integration, economic synergy and deeper ties between the people of Southern Africa.”
Direct access
The service will cater to business and leisure travellers by offering seamless direct access between the three destinations, unlocking exciting new regional tourism circuits that showcase Southern Africa’s cultural richness and natural beauty.
According to Air Connect, Lusaka and Windhoek are rapidly emerging as leading aviation hubs, fuelling greater connectivity and regional cooperation across the SADC region. In addition, Livingstone provides travellers with convenient access to the iconic Victoria Falls.
Beyond tourism, the route will act as an economic artery, stimulating bilateral trade and cross-border investment. By strengthening ties between two of the region’s most promising economic hubs, the route lays the foundation for deeper commercial partnerships and regional value chain development, said Air Connect.
