History
Proflight Air Services was founded in 1991 by pilot Tony Irwin, formerly of Zambia Airways.[3] On 30 June 2009 the airline was authorized by the Zambia Competition Commission to form an alliance with Zambezi Airlines.[4] The airline was officially rebranded as Proflight Zambia in 2010.
In March 2013 Proflight took delivery of its first jet aircraft, a Boeing 737-200, and later in 2013 began regional scheduled service to Lilongwe and Dar es Salaam.[3][5] although the Boeing was returned to the lessor, Star Air Cargo, in 2014.
