Proflight Zambia Earns IATA Membership Following Successful IOSA Audit

Proflight Zambia has officially become a member airline of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) by successfully completing the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) and being added to the IATA IOSA Registry. This achievement means the airline meets globally recognised safety and operational standards and is now listed among IATA’s certified carriers.

Since launching scheduled operations in June 2005, Proflight Zambia has established itself as a key player in Southern African aviation. Headquartered in Lusaka, the airline has built a robust network that serves vital domestic destinations while expanding its reach across the region.

Proflight’s core mission is to connect Zambia both internally and with its neighbors. The airline links the capital, Lusaka, to other major Zambian centres, facilitating business and travel within the country. Beyond its borders, Proflight provides essential regional links to Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa, playing a crucial role in the economic and tourism integration of Southern Africa.

A significant factor in the airline’s reliability and growth is its modern and well-maintained fleet. Proflight operates a mixed fleet of six Bombardier CRJ-200 regional jets and five Jetstream 41 turboprop aircraft. This combination allows for efficient service on various route lengths—the CRJ-200 jets offer speed and comfort on longer regional sectors, while the turboprops are ideal for shorter domestic hops.

Looking to the future, Proflight Zambia continues to strategically expand its influence. By actively partnering with major global carriers, the airline not only extends its network through convenient connections but also strengthens the overall air transport framework within the region. This commitment to partnership and growth ensures Proflight remains a vital conduit for travel and trade in Southern Africa, eighteen years after its first scheduled flight took to the skies.
