Proflight Zambia yesterday, launched a new direct flight between Ndola and Kasama in a bid to improve convenience for travellers from both destinations.

Instead of staying overnight in Lusaka when flying between the two locations, travellers can now take advantage of the new four-weekly rotation on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, alternating between Lusaka-Ndola-Kasama-Lusaka and Lusaka- Kasama- Ndola- Lusaka.

The move is set to attract further investment in tourism, agriculture and aquaculture in the Northern Province of Zambia

The direct flight will depart Ndola at 12:45 hours on Tuesdays and Fridays, arriving in Kasama at 14:25 hours. The flight will depart Kasama on Mondays and Thursdays at 10:35 hours, arriving in Ndola at 12:15 hours.

Kasama is the capital of Northern Province, where the valleys, lakes, hills and waterfalls are some of the area’s best-known tourist attractions, which make a major contribution to Zambia’s economy.
