Zambia Airports Corporation Limited (ZACL) has opened and fully operationalized the new Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport in Ndola.
ZACL Communications Manager Mweembe Sikaulu says the old airport which is now a ZAF Base is no longer a commercial airport and will therefore not be managed by the corporation.
Ms Sikaulu has since advised passengers to use the new airport which is located off the Ndola-Kitwe dual carriageway near Ndola Girls National Technical School and the Dag Hammarskjold Memorial site.
She says the newly commissioned Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport has a capacity of one million passengers per annum,three aero bridges, a new fire and rescue service station, a cargo terminal, business complex, aircraft maintenance hangar and an airport fuel farm.
Ms Sikaulu says in the near future, the airport will also house a 50 roomed luxury hotel which will be managed by a renowned hotel group.
