Zambia Inaugurates Two International Airports in a $1 Billion Investment Projects

Zambia inaugurates two international airports in a $1 Billion investment projects - Zambia has commissioned the new Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport in Ndola on the Copperbelt Province. The multi-million dollar project, formerly known as Copperbelt International Airport, marks the first time in over 50 years that Zambia has developed a large airport after Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, formerly Lusaka International Airport, which was built in 1967.
The ultra-modern airport’s design includes a 3500-meter runway and a 12,000 square metre terminal building, with the capacity to accommodate one million passengers, which has a longer wingspan than the Boeing 747-800, which the old airport could not accommodate. The new facility also features a multitude of attractions, including a 50-room hotel. A 28-meter-high control tower, a category 10 fire station and an aircraft hangar, are among the other amenities. The new airport, according to Zambia Airports Corporation Limited (ZACL), will handle 8,000 tonnes of cargo and 20,000 take-offs per year.

I am impressed for this postive attitude from Zambian government ...Good example to be followed by others ...

[@zimandolapaperman7108]

Hmmm. You know we defaulted on the debt right?And now our children will have to pay this debt to unforgiving China. Do you even know what was in the debt contract? Don't be surprised if the Chinese end up taking over all the public mines in Zambia. Not only are we the only and first country to default Chinese debt in Africa, but. the previous government left nothing in the treasury.

Our children are ready to pay. This has been built for them. There is nothing for free. They appreciate us

You don't need your own airline you need to attract investors even from other parts of Africa. With a modern airport that is easier, you can easily export your goods. All humans are attracted to nice looking things.

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

@@alumbwesainent7700 the word renowned is what I find a little confusing. I know Zambia, like other countries, has a tourism sector but I wouldn't have used the word 'renowned' to define it's tourism sector. Going by 2019 tourism numbers according to the world bank Zambia 1.2 million Namibia 1.6 million Botswana 1.8 million Kenya 2 million Zimbabwe 2.3 million Egypt 3.5 million South Africa 5 million If we go by the definition of Renowned meaning famous or talked about by many people I'm not sure we could use that route either. Most people in the west, east and north know Kenya and Egypt. Even South Africa.

[@brianmulubwa941]

Imagine a south African asking such a question when they are illegally marketing the Victoria falls as their own. Even including it in their tourism package. Zambia has the second largest national park in Africa , the size of Switzerland in the kafue national park...unexplored and untamed. We have 67 waterfalls and we hold 41% of fresh water in southern Africa. Big country with a fairly small population of about 18 million people. No wars and no insecurity. That's a tourist attraction

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

@@brianmulubwa941 nice. And thanks for the info. Had no such knowledge about Zambia. And it's a lovely country. Visited in 2019. But still confused on "renowned". I'm not sure whether the first sentence in your comment is suggesting I'm South African.

How is Zambia doing on that 21 billion Chinese debt? Oh, I forgot the defaulted on it. I wonder what is in the contract for that debt 🤔. Lets hope the Chinese don't have to take over all the public mines in Zambia, and thousands of hectares of agro land, plus control of public companies like Zesco, ZNBC, Zamtel etc. Now we have enslaved our children to the Chinese government with this debt.
