Proflight Zambia has reiterated the importance of advancing air connectivity across Africa to drive tourism and economic growth. Speaking at the 2025 Zambia Travel Expo (ZATEX) and the ICAO African & Indian Ocean Aviation Week held in Victoria Falls, the airline called for closer alignment between governments, airports, and airlines to reduce costs and improve regional air access. Keira Langford Johnson, Proflight’s Business Development Director, highlighted the urgency of collaborative policy and infrastructure investment to better connect African destinations.
The discussions follow encouraging sector data, with Africa recording a 9% rise in international arrivals in the first quarter of 2025. Zambia has also committed over K700 million this year towards upgrading provincial aerodromes to enhance domestic and regional accessibility. Proflight’s participation in key industry forums underscores its commitment to building a more integrated aviation network—viewed as essential to unlocking intra-African tourism and trade opportunities.
