History
Proflight Air Services was founded in 1991 by ex-Zambia Airways pilot Tony Irwin. He began by operating charters within Zambia and the region. In 1997, he obtained his first license to operate schedules to Mfuwe.
In 2004 Proflight Air Services attracted new investors and formed Proflight Commuter Services which began scheduled services to the Copperbelt, Luangwa Valley, Victoria Falls and Lower Zambezi.
On 30 June 2009 the airline was authorized by the Zambia Competition Commission to form an alliance with Zambezi Airlines. 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, Malawi, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, although the Boeing was returned to the lessor, Star Air Cargo, in 2014.
In March 2015, Proflight Zambia and Rwandair signed a codeshare agreement on the Lusaka - Johannesburg route with Rwandair as the operating carrier and Proflight Zambia as the Marketing carrier.
