BIG UP TO ZED, LET’S HOPE WE GET BACK TO THE GREAT COUNTRY THAT WE USED TO BE IN THE 1970s. RIGHT NOW, WHAT’S LACKING IS JUST INFRASTRUCTURE, INFRASTRUCTURE AND INFRASTRUCTURE!!

Great stuff! But please GRZ, follow ‘Wanu ngwee”s advise. We need modern facilities at KKI. Better work on that now and do the ring road later!

this is really great news to have direct flights from Amsterdam. I’ve been having it hard to travel from France these last years, sooooo many connections (22hrs flight!!). This will surely change life for me and that of many others. Thanks GRZ and KLM.

Great news and will reduce the hours of flying. Via Malawi, then connect through Kenya and connect from Amsterdam to ones final destination . . . I totally agree with you ba Kasonde least one can get is 16hrs to France.

correction BA operates the B777 on its lusaka london route. and the KK airport is big enough 2 handle twice its current traffic
