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.

EK 713 departs Dubai every day at 09:25, arriving in Lusaka at 14:35. The service departs Lusaka at 16:05, arriving in Harare at 17:10.

The return flight leaves Harare at 18:50, arriving Lusaka at 19:55. It departs Lusaka at 21:40 and lands in Dubai at 06:50 the next day.
