ZAMBIA POISED FOR GREATNESS

BY MARK ZILIGONE

Transport and Logistics Minister FRANK TAYALI says Zambia is poised to be a manufacturing and distribution centre in the sub-region following the re-launch of Zambia Airways.

Mr. TAYALI says this is why government has committed to supporting growth of the aviation sector as it has huge potential to contribute to the country’s economic development.

He also says Government’s emphasis on sectors such as transport and tourism for accelerated growth present an enabling environment for operating a national airline.

Mr. TAYALI was speaking after the Zambia Airways Inaugural flight from Lusaka to the Copperbelt Province this morning.

He further encouraged Zambia Airways to consider expanding its flights to other routes that are currently not serviced.

And Copperbelt Province Minister, ELISHA MATAMBO said the introduction of the Zambia Airways scheduled flight is a bold step towards restoring the province’s old fortunes.
