Proflight Zambia adds a CRJ200 to its fleet.

Proflight Zambia took delivery of their second 50 seater Bombardier CRJ200. The jet is being leased from Avmax Leasing, a prominent Canadian leasing company.

Scott Greig, Avmax Senior VP and Head of Avmax Aircraft Leasing Inc stated: “Avmax is excited to deliver its second CRJ200 to our customer Proflight Zambia. Proflight has demonstrated great performance and measured growth over the past year, and as such, they have been a leading contributor to the increase in the country’s international arrivals in 2022. The CRJ200 is perfectly built to serve Proflight Zambia’s customers in southern Africa as it allows them to offer additional flights and destinations from its base in Lusaka.”

Tony Irwin, Proflight Zambia CEO, said “Proflight Zambia is excited to add another Jet aircraft to its fleet thanks to Avmax our ideal leasing partner. We have been very pleased with Avmax’s ability to work with us and understand our needs as an airline. It’s a great comfort knowing that we can count on Avmax to consistently deliver a quality product from their North American MRO facilities.”

The new jet will be deployed on domestic routes as well on regional routes to South Africa. With the addition of this CRJ200, Proflight Zambia will be operating a total of seven aircraft, three of which are the CRJ variant, two being the CRJ200 and one CRJ100.
