Proflight Zambia will introduce non-stop flights on all three weekly services between Lusaka and Windhoek from November 2026 to reflect seasonal demand, saving passengers about an hour of travel time between the two capitals.
The routing through Livingstone – a direct link between Namibia and the Victoria Falls – serves the April-to-October peak tourism season each year, when visitor numbers are at their highest.
From November to March, when demand eases, the service flies non-stop, with flights leaving Lusaka at 10:35 am on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, arriving in Windhoek at 12:40 pm.
The return service departs Windhoek at 1:20 pm and lands in Lusaka at 3:30 pm. From 2027, the days of operation will shift to Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
Proflight Zambia’s Director of Government and Industry Affairs, Capt. Josias Walubita said: “From November 2026, Proflight Zambia flights between Lusaka and Windhoek will operate non-stop for the tourism low season. This change reflects our continued efforts to tailor our services to passenger demand and travel patterns, making journeys between the two capitals quicker and more convenient.”
The tourist capital of Zambia and gateway to Victoria Falls – the world’s largest curtain of falling water – Livingstone is served by Proflight Zambia’s domestic flights from Lusaka, with the entire Windhoek to Livingstone journey booked as a single itinerary.
“Passengers travelling to Livingstone can still connect easily through Lusaka using our existing domestic flights,” said captain Walubita.
“This means we are making travel between Zambia and Namibia more direct, while ensuring that Livingstone, one of Zambia’s key tourism destinations, remains easily accessible to both local and international travellers throughout the year.”
The schedule also provides Namibian travellers with one-stop access to Proflight Zambia’s domestic network through Lusaka, including the Copperbelt city of Ndola and the mining town of Solwezi, with connecting flights to and from both destinations timed to coincide with the Windhoek service.
Proflight Zambia, established in 2005 and an IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) registered and an IATA member airline.
The airline operates five Bombardier CRJ-200 50 seat jets, one Bombardier CRJ-100 parcel freighter jet, and seven BAE Jetstream 41 29 seat turbo prop aircraft.
