Proflight Zambia has added a fifth Bombardier CRJ-200 passenger jet to its fleet.
This follows the introduction of a British Aerospace Jetstream 4100 in July, and brings the airline’s total fleet to 12 aircraft.
Proflight’s Maintenance Manager, Eric Simukonde, the flight engineer on the aircraft's delivery from Canada to Zambia, was enthusiastic over the new arrival, saying: “We are thrilled to welcome the CRJ-200 to our growing fleet. This significant milestone underscores our dedication to providing exceptional customer service.”
The addition of its fifth passenger CRJ-200 will enable Proflight to expand its regional network by introducing more routes and ensuring greater reliability in its operations.
“The CRJ-200 is an excellent aircraft for regional operations, particularly in terms of fuel efficiency and passenger capacity. It is preferred for its comfort, reliability, and suitability for regional connectivity,” Simukonde added.
