About P0
P0 is a regional carrier built for one job: connecting Zambia to itself and to its immediate neighbors. With 40 non-stop routes spread across 14 airports, this isn't a global player chasing long-haul revenue — it's a workhorse airline serving the kind of routes that larger carriers ignore. The network leans heavily domestic, with 36 of 40 routes touching Zambian soil. Its main hub sits at Lusaka's Kenneth Kaunda International (LUN), pushing out 10 routes, while secondary hubs at Livingstone (LVI), Solwezi (SLI), and Mfuwe (MFU) round out a genuinely practical regional footprint.
Why fly P0?
The honest case for P0 comes down to access. If you're trying to reach Mfuwe for a South Luangwa safari or Solwezi for a mining-sector work trip, P0 is often your only realistic option — driving these routes isn't just slow, it's sometimes not sensible. The network's 20,330 km total span sounds modest, but it covers territory that most travelers never realize is this connected by air. The LVI to Cape Town route (CPT) at 1,934 km is the longest in the network and arguably the most useful for international visitors combining Victoria Falls with a South Africa trip. P0 also touches Botswana and Namibia, giving southern Africa overland itineraries a legitimate air shortcut.

Tips for booking P0
Book LUN as your connection point if you're building a multi-stop Zambia itinerary — 10 routes out of Lusaka gives you the most flexibility and the best chance of rebooking if something shifts. The LVI-CPT route is worth checking even if you're not starting in Livingstone, since positioning flights from LUN to LVI are short and the combined routing can undercut direct Cape Town fares. Regional carriers like P0 often have stricter baggage rules on smaller aircraft, so confirm weight limits before you pack safari gear. Don't assume frequent flyer reciprocity with major alliances — check directly before crediting miles.
