Airlines Connect Zambia Safari to Dubai

Zambian Airways and Air Malawi are to establish joint flights to Dubai (United Arab Emirates) through Dar-es-Salaam (Tanzania) effective June 17, 2005. Speaking at the launch of the flights, Zambian Airways chief executive officer Don MacDonald said, "The flights will be competitively priced in keeping with the airline's philosophy of delivering low fares."

And Air Malawi chief executive officer Esther Chioko said the partnership made economic sense. "We have taken courage as airlines. We have decided, we are determined we will do it on June 17," she said.

Initially the two airlines will operate three times a week from Lusaka, departing Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, and returning to Lusaka on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays.

This deal increases the choices of air carriers for Zambia safari travelers. So connecting to the Middle East and even the Far East will be easy. But also the return trip to Zambia will be easy too. How delightful! Two airlines of two neighbourly countries; one "the warm heart of Africa" and the other "the ..real Africa." That’s what Malawi and Zambia safaris are famously known respectively.
