Zambian Aviation Authority Suspends Kenya Airways Flights

Must read

The Zambian Aviation Authority has suspended all Kenya Airways flights into Zambia after Kenya denied authorization for Zambia Airways to operate flights into Nairobi using its wet-leased B737-700 aircraft.

Despite Zambia Airways’ application for scheduled flights from Lusaka to Nairobi being granted a Foreign Operators Permit by the Kenyan Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA), the approval to operate with the wet-leased aircraft was refused.

Efforts to resolve the issue included a follow-up letter from Zambia’s Ministry of Transport to the Kenyan Minister of Transport, which went unanswered. A meeting was also held with the Acting Kenyan High Commissioner to Zambia, who requested all relevant documentation, but no feedback has been received.

As a result of the lack of reciprocity regarding flight operations, the Zambian Aviation Authority has taken this step against Kenya Airways.
