Zambia plans to upgrade all provincial airports
The Zambian government has announced a comprehensive initiative to upgrade all provincial airports across the country, marking a significant boost for the nation's aviation sector. This ambitious project aims to modernise infrastructure, enhance safety standards, and improve connectivity between Zambia's diverse regions.
The upgrades will encompass a range of improvements, including the modernisation of existing facilities, expansion of runway capacities, and installation of cutting-edge navigation and security systems. These enhancements are expected to streamline operations and increase the airports' capacity to handle growing passenger and cargo traffic more efficiently.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to stimulate economic growth, bolster tourism, and strengthen regional integration by making air travel more accessible and reliable throughout Zambia. By improving provincial airports, the government aims to promote balanced regional development and invigorate local economies.
Whilst specific timeline and budget details are yet to be fully disclosed, authorities have indicated that the upgrades will be implemented in phases to minimise disruption and maximise benefits across the country.
