The route will operate via Livingstone from April to October 2027, providing connections to the Victoria Falls tourism hub.
Flights connect two regional destinations
The service allows travellers to visit both countries on one trip, in either direction. South African visitors could fly from Johannesburg to Lusaka, explore Zambia and continue to Windhoek before returning home, or start their journey in Namibia and travel onwards to Zambia.
Passengers flying from Windhoek can also connect through Lusaka to Proflight Zambia’s domestic network, which includes Livingstone, Mfuwe and Ndola. Connections are subject to travel dates and schedules.
Captain Josias Walubita, Proflight Zambia’s Director of Government and Industry Affairs, said: “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.”
Flight times and operating days
During November and December 2026, flights will depart Lusaka at 10.35am on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, arriving in Windhoek at 12.40pm. Return flights will leave Windhoek at 1.20pm and arrive in Lusaka at 3.30pm.
From 2027, the operating days will change to Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
“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.”
For South African travellers, the airline also operates flights between Johannesburg and Lusaka, and between Cape Town and Lusaka via Livingstone. These services provide further options for regional travel.
