Proflight Zambia has introduced a new service between Cape Town and Livingstone, starting December 1.

The service offers dual benefits: tourism access to the Victoria Falls and enhanced business connectivity to Lusaka, with passengers to Zambia's capital remaining onboard during the brief Livingstone stopover. The flights operate on Thursdays and Sundays, while an additional Saturday flight will be operated for the holiday season running from December 1 to January 5.  

Flight PO0051 will depart from Cape Town on Thursdays and Sundays at 12h00, arriving in Livingstone at 14h50. Flight PO0050 from Livingstone will depart at 08h10 and arrive in Cape Town at 11h10.

The additional Saturday flight will operate on December 7, 14, 21 and 28, and January 4.

On these days, flights from Cape Town will take off at 12h15 and arrive in Livingstone at 15h05 and the return flight will remain on the same schedule, departing at 08h10 and arriving in Cape Town at 11h10.

Proflight Zambia Director of Flight Operations Joses Walubita stressed that the flight timings had been specifically designed around the tourism experience.

“Passengers can leave Cape Town after breakfast and be at Victoria Falls in time for an afternoon sunset cruise. The morning departure from Livingstone also means Capetonians can be back at their desks before lunch."

The route will be operated with a 50-seat Bombardier CRJ-200. The airline took delivery of a fifth CRJ-200 in October.
