Additionally, these flights will run on selected weekdays (Monday to Friday) during the holiday peak period from 1 December 2025 to 3 January 2026, offering seamless connections and eliminating the need for overnight layovers in Johannesburg.

The airline now operates over 35 return flights weekly between Lusaka and Ndola, 15 flights weekly to Solwezi, and 12 flights weekly to Kalumbila.
