ZAMBIA AIRWAYS TO GO REGIONAL

Zambia Airways is expected to start regional flights before the the end of March,2023.

This is after the Airline secured the Foreign Operator Permit.

Zambia Airways Chief Executive Officer Abiy Asrat Jiru commended President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA for assisting the National Carrier in securing the long-awaited permit.

Mr. JIRU says the airline, despite announcing in July last year that it would start regional flights, failed to actualize the announcement as there had been delays in securing the Foreign Operator Permit which is a requirement for the commencement of region
l flights.

He said President Hichilema was informed about the delays and he stepped in to assist the Airline through engagements with his regional counterparts.

Mr. Jiru was speaking in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, when he paid a courtesy call on Zambia Embassy Charge D’ Affaires, Mr. Trevor Sichombo.

And Mr. Sichombo said the Airline industry in many countries is a crucial driver of economic growth as it facilitates movement of people and goods.

This is according to a statement made available to ZNBC News by the First Secretary to for Press and Tourism at the Zambian Mission in Addis Ababa – Ethiopia- INUTU MWANZA
