Pilots Zambia

Dear Proflight Zambia
Congratulations on the acquisition of your 737-500. She looks gorgeous. When can we hop on board for a tour?

Ok bane....naikaba nomba.

Zambia Airways in 2023.

Still operating a single aircraft.
Expansion plans unknown/withheld
Crew are either sitting on the ground or have started working for charters
Data on Passenger numbers withheld. An inquiry was made asking how many passengers were carried last year. The information was denied on basis that the 'competition' would use that information to their advantage..we just don't understand how
Data on Quarterly and Annual earnings withheld
Information on Regional routes withheld

Seems no one at the Airline is hungry enough for success. There should have been word of increasing route frequencies, new international routes and additional aircraft should have started joining the fleet by now.

Awesome news! Kudos to the Zambia Air Force and Zambia Flying Doctor Service

As reported on Kalemba

The Zambia Airports Corporation Limited (ZACL) says it is having discussions with the Ministry of Transport and Logistics on the possibility of downgrading Mfuwe International Airport in Mambwe district, Eastern Province, to a domestic airport.

Why not give the Airport a facelift instead?

ZAMBIA AIRWAYS LIKELY NOT TO MAKE ANY PROFITS IF ITS CONTRACT WITH ETHIOPIAN AIRLINE IS NOT REVIEWED

Aviation Expert Captain George Sinkala says he does not see flag carrier, Zambia Airways making any profits as long as the contract involving the local airline and Ethiopian Airline is not reviewed.

Captain Sinkala in an interview has maintained that Ethiopian airlines is a direct competitor as it flies to all destinations where Zambia Airways would plan to fly to.

He is of the view that the shareholders being aware of the conflict of interest should not have allowed Ethiopian airlines to compete directly or indirectly on the domestic and Regional African market for at least 10 years to allow the local airline to grow.

Captain Sinkala explains that there is no guarantee that the airline will ever contribute any taxes, adding that the only time Zambia will have access to the airline’s account is when Ethiopian management declares a loss at the end of the financial year.

The new Zambia Airways is a joint venture established in August 2018 between the Industrial Development Corporation Limited, which holds 55% shareholding, and Ethiopian Airlines with 45% ownership.
