FlySafair will launch flights between Johannesburg and Lusaka from February 1, 2027.
The airline will operate five weekly flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, departing OR Tambo International Airport at 07h50 and arriving at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport in Lusaka at 09h50. The return flight will depart Lusaka at 10h50 and arrive in Johannesburg at 12h50.
“Zambia has long been on our radar, and Lusaka is a route our customers have been asking about. The Johannesburg-Lusaka corridor carries a significant mix of business and leisure travellers, as well as South Africans and Zambians travelling to see family and friends,” said Kirby Gordon, Chief Marketing Officer at FlySafair.
“Our international network has been built on the principle that connecting South Africa with its neighbours should be affordable, not a luxury. When we launched Cape Town to Windhoek, we brought fares down significantly on that corridor, and we intend to do the same on Johannesburg to Lusaka,” added Gordon.
Bookings are open, with fares ranging from R2 800 for JNB-LUN and from R3 000 for LUN-JNB.
