Proflight Air Services was founded by ex Zambia
Airways pilot, Tony Irwin. He began by operating
charters within Zambia and the region in 1991. In
1997, he obtained his first license to operate sched-
ule flights to Mfuwe. In 2004 Proflight Air Services
attracted new investors and formed Proflight Com-
muter Services that began scheduled services to
the Copperbelt, Luangwa Valley, Victoria Falls and
Lower Zambezi. Since then Proflight has expanded
to offering services to the Northern Province and
will soon extend their route network to include the
Western Province.
In 2009 the airline was authorized by the Zambia
Competition Commission to form a strategic alliance
with Zambezi Airlines. This partnership created
more opportunities for both companies to increase
capacity and to better serve the market. In 2010,
Proflight introduced a state-of-the-art reservation
system called Videcom, which increased function-
ality to better suit customers’ needs and helped to
increase the integration of systems with Zambezi
Airlines.
Today Proflight Zambia continues to serve the do-
mestic market and business community and pro-
vides a vital service to Zambia’s tourism industry.
Their core objective is to provide a safe, friendly,
professional and first-class service on scheduled
and charter flights in Zambia and the region. With
a fleet of 14 aircraft, Proflight offers both scheduled
and charter services. The Operation also includes
Proflight Engineering, which is an AMO (Aircraft
Maintenance Facility) that is approved by both the
Zambian Department of Civil Aviation and the South
African Civil Aviation Authority and conducts mainte-
nance on aircraft from within and outside of Zambia.
Scheduled destinations include Lusaka, Living-
stone, Ndola, Chipata, Solwezi, Mfuwe, Mansa,
Kasama and shuttles in season to Lower Zambezi.
The next route will be Mongu in the Western Prov-
ince and this is scheduled for March 2011
“As the Zambian economy grows, Proflight will grow
with it. Trust in Proflight as a safe, reliable and first
class airline, providing services throughout Zambia.”
