Proflight Zambia to Fly Lusaka–Windhoek Direct From November

Proflight Zambia will fly all three weekly Lusaka–Windhoek services non-stop from November 2026, saving passengers about an hour, with the Livingstone stopover returning each April for the peak tourism season. Passengers for Livingstone can connect through Lusaka, and from 2027 the flights move to Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

Why this article matters
Proflight Zambia opened its Windhoek route in March 2026 with a routing through Livingstone, giving Namibia a direct link to the Victoria Falls. The airline now runs it to a seasonal pattern: via Livingstone from April to October, when tourism demand peaks, and non-stop between the two capitals from November to March, when demand eases and a quicker journey between Lusaka and Windhoek takes priority.

The change keeps Livingstone within reach through Lusaka on a single itinerary, and connecting flights to Ndola and Solwezi are timed to the Windhoek service, giving Namibian travellers one-stop access to Zambia’s Copperbelt and mining towns. It shows a regional carrier shaping one route to two distinct markets across the year, and the first non-stop season will show how much point-to-point demand exists between the two capitals.

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 on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, arriving in Windhoek at 12:40. The return service departs Windhoek at 13:20 and lands in Lusaka at 15:30. From 2027, the days of operation will shift to Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

Capt. Josias Walubita, Proflight Zambia’s Director of Government and Industry Affairs, 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 Capt. 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.
