Zambia Airways launch new service from Jo'burg to Livingstone

On Friday May 2nd, Zambian Airways launched their first scheduled service flight between Johannesburg and Livingstone with a full passenger load; a complementary on-board champagne service and a flypast over the world famous Victoria Falls. The aircraft was greeted on landing by African dancers and the local press.

Charlie Roberts, Zambian Airways Commercial Director said " This is a fantastic start to what will become a very successful route for Zambian Airways - we have already been able to help lots of disappointed Nationwide passengers, who have snapped up our "Rescue" fares, plus our new service is proving incredibly popular both with locals and the ever expanding number of tourists choosing to see the Falls from the Zambian side."

The new service operates four times per week on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday on a Boeing 737 aircraft leaving Jo'burg at 11:50 arriving Livingstone 13:20, departing Livingstone at 14:15 arriving Jo'burg at 1545 local. Plans are already in place to increase the service to daily from June 02nd.

Zambian Airways also operate domestic scheduled services between Mfuwe, Chipata, Lusaka and Ndola, plus international services between Johannesburg and the Zambian capital of Lusaka as well as Livingstone (for Victoria Falls) plus Dar es Salaam and Lumbumbashi from Lusaka.
