Zambia Airways Launches Seamless Johannesburg–Solwezi Service via Lusaka and Ndola
- For travelers seeking a reliable and efficient route from Johannesburg to Solwezi, Zambia Airways now offers a streamlined service operating every Friday and Sunday, connecting three key Zambian cities in a single day. This new routing is set to transform regional travel, particularly for those involved in Zambia’s thriving mining industry and the expanding trade corridors of Southern Africa.
The journey begins at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, with a 10:10 AM departure. The flight lands in Lusaka at 12:30 PM, allowing for a smooth transition to the next leg. From there, it departs for Ndola at 13:35, arriving at 14:30, and finally continues to Solwezi, landing at 15:45. In total, passengers can travel from Johannesburg to Solwezi in under six hours on a single ticket and with coordinated baggage handling throughout.
This tri-city routing is a notable development for regional air travel. Solwezi, the capital of Zambia’s North-Western Province, is a strategic hub for the mining sector and an increasingly important destination for corporate travel. By linking Johannesburg, Lusaka, Ndola, and Solwezi in one seamless itinerary, Zambia Airways is directly responding to growing demand for efficient, multi-stop travel options across the region.
A key highlight of the service is its simplicity: three flights, one ticket, zero stress. Travelers no longer need to deal with complex connections or multiple bookings. With Zambia Airways’ integrated approach, passengers enjoy a single check-in process and seamless baggage transfers particularly advantageous for business travelers carrying specialized equipment or working under tight schedules.
