All cargo services in Southern Africa
Proflight Zambia has expanded its cargo capacity by designating some of its fleet to operate dedicated cargo flights between Lusaka and Johannesburg. Initially operated by Jetstream 41 and upgraded to CRJ100 where demand is high, the service commenced last week and is operating twice weekly throughout this month.
Josias Walubita, director flight operations : "We have invested in having cargo nets made and effective tie-downs procured to ensure that cargo can be safely secured in the cabin. All seats have been removed allowing us to carry all types of cargo including live animals, perishables and so on."
This addition makes Proflight the only Zambian airline operating regular cargo flights. Bookings and handling are provided by Bidair Cargo, a player in the regional express logistics market. (ah)
