The aircraft has six abreast seating and large overhead baggage stowage that will offer a superior journey to passengers with an improved level of comfort.

The Boeing 737 will be the third Jet added to Proflight’s fleet since emerging from the COVID pandemic in 2022. Proflight’s fleet with the addition of the Boeing 737 will now consist of eight aircraft: including three 50-seater Bombardier CRJ-100/200 jets, three 29-seater Jetstream 41 aircraft, and one 18-seater Jetstream 32 aircraft.

The addition of the Boeing 737 to its fleet demonstrates the airline’s unwavering commitment to delivering world-class travel experiences while contributing to the development of Zambia’s aviation industry and efficient regional transport.

The airline eagerly anticipates the numerous opportunities and growth that this aircraft will bring, firmly believing that it will strengthen its position as the preferred regional carrier. Although the new Boeing 737 arrived ahead of schedule, it is expected to commence operations and make its inaugural flight in a few days, pending regulatory approvals.

As Proflight Zambia ushers in this new era with the arrival of its first Boeing 737, the airline remains committed to its core values of safety, reliability, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

  2. The best for the government would have been to buy shares and increase its fleet. Work with an existing brand and increase regional flights to RSA, East Africa ETC. PF ordered and paid for aircrafts that never arrived.

    • I said this years ago when there was that debate of setting up Zambian Airways but no one wanted to listened. Govt has no business in running airlines. All that Zambian Airways is doing is promoting Ethiopian Airlines traffic and they are using it to get rid of local competition. Thank god Proflight is two steps ahead of them.
