Proflight Zambia adds B737 to fleet

Proflight Zambia announced that it intends to introduce a leased Boeing 737-500 to its fleet. The jet will be leased from African Charter Airline. The B737-500 with reg number ZS-TGY is a 31 year old jet configured with a total of 126 seats.

Starting in April, Proflight added a third daily flight and plans to introduce the Boeing 737-500 to oprate one of the three return flights starting in June.

“We are thrilled to make the announcement, as this development is closely tied to Proflight’s ambition to expand our services into the regional market and reflects the commitment, we have to promoting air travel as an affordable, safe, and reliable means of transportation,” said Proflight Zambia Director Flight Operations Captain Josias Walubita.
