Proflight Zambia has signed an interline agreement
with Emirates that will make it easier for Emirates’ international passengers to reach
domestic destinations throughout Zambia.
Under the new agreement, customers
will be able to purchase joint Emirates-Proflight Zambia
itineraries and will be issued with a single combined ticket.
This
will enable seamless connections to and from Proflight’s eight
domestic destinations: Ndola, Livingstone, Mfuwe, Solwezi, Chipata,
Mansa, Kasama and Mongu, as well as the local airline’s two
international routes, Lilongwe in Malawi and Dar-es-Salaam in
Tanzania, with Emirates’ daily Lusaka service.
“Our new partnership with Proflight
Zambia opens up a wide range of Zambian destinations for Emirates
customers, making exploring Zambia more easy and convenient than
ever before. What’s more customers will enjoy even better value
for money when they purchase their Emirates and Proflight Zambia
flights together,” said Orhan Abbas, Emirates Senior
Vice-President for Latin America, Central and Southern Africa.
Captain Philip Lemba, Proflight Director of
Government and Industry Affairs, added, “Emirates is one of the most admired airlines in the world,
with an extensive global network. This agreement will undoubtedly
provide new travel opportunities for their customers, as well as
put Proflight and Zambia firmly on the international aviation
map.”
Customers
will also benefit from a range of added benefits, including special fares
to domestic destinations and the same baggage allowance for Proflight customers connecting from Emirates flights.
