Zambian regional carrier Proflight Zambia is set to connect Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport (LVI) in Livingstone with OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg. The airline has received approval for the new route, which it is introducing in a phased approach while demand remains subdued, initially starting in April 2021 by altering its flight times between Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN) in Lusaka and Livingstone to enable smooth connections to their Lusaka <> Johannesburg flights four times weekly. Once demand picks up, Proflight Zambia plans to introduce a direct service between Johannesburg <> Livingstone, making it the first airline to operate the route since South Africa reopened its airports late last year.
