He says the Plane which has capacity of One Hundred and 11 Passages is now fit to fly after going through flying tests in South Africa.

…can it fly to Chipata and back laden with mbeba tails?…
Is this news? Would you report the same about a bus or a tractor which has just been repaired? Come on LT, look for news worthy reports!!!!
Yes it can! We need to import more mbeba from Chipata or Katete. And also carry air mukwai monkeys on our way back. I end here!
I {keep|cling on to|carry on} linseting to the {news|reports|newscast|news bulletin|news update|rumor|news broadcast} {speak|talk|lecture} about {getting|receiving} {free|boundless} online grant applications so I have been looking around for the {bes There is perceptibly a lot to identify about this. I consider you made various good points in features also .
My goodness…LT you really need to edit your articles before uploading them. The title has a letter missing; a plane is just a noun, not a proper noun ‘Plane’; I guess ” certified Air Worth” should have read “certified air worthy”; and “One hundred and 11 passages” should have simply read “111 passengers”…need I continue?…LT, this is really pathetic…
THIS IS GOOD NEWS START OPERATIONS
that scoail media is the only aspect that has led to the success or failure of these businesses, a study from merely a few weeks ago that rated American Airlines the ?most hated? on scoail media and Virgin the ?most loved?
Lori Van NostrandWhat your doing now, by esnserxipg your self. Is wonderful therapy. To follow your bliss is too. I am impressed by your being able to share your very deep feelings. I am also moved. Your very good Colleen. Blessings
I can’t trust a zambian pilot, i would never fly in such a plane flown by a zambian. Low competence levels
Cant blame you Sanchez, I guess you wouldnt trust your mother when she tells you she gave birth to you! You sound racist and pathetic!

This is tribalism, how come both pilots mentioned are from Northern Provice
Give them back their permit to fly. I am a Sata supporter but the grounding of Zambezi Airlines, is totally unacceptable. All the reasons given so far appear to be without merit. The President has received bad advice in this case. I am not suprised that tribalism is being mentioned as the real reason. How sad is this! Give the man a chance, he is on his own funding this project, we should all be proud of him.
DOWN WITH JELOUSY.
I rlelay enjoy this theme youve got going on in your web site. What is the name of the design by the way? I was thinking of using this style for the blog I am going to make for my school project.
Does this airline even own these planes, most Airline in Africa lease the planes…why didn’t they just get another one instead of patch-up jobs!!
Ba jay jay, You display the highest level of ignorance I have ever come across. Visit the airport one day and ask to be accordd an opportunity to have a closer look at SAA, BA, TAAG or indeed any other aircraft and see how much patch repair they have undergone. How much do you think an aeroplane costs? Just a brake unit can buy you two autorec motor vehicles…Wisen up bro!
my car toyota corolla ACJ 3237, 5 passengers seater was bashed by a toyota haice early october and is brought back to chililabombwe after being repaired by car doctor of chingola.lubengele passengers have confermed that the car is fit to pirate. same same with this news.

I think this is news because we all know that Zambezi airlines’ licence has been suspended due to safety reasons. Now they have a bargaining chip to restore their licence.
LT this is not News please give us real news, Kindly tell the Sata Govt to give this damn Airline their operating License too many people have lost their income because of this Airline being grounded,Employees of Zambezi Airlines and Vendors and their Employees who do business with Zambezi Airlines.
Walasa!
A renovated plane. Apparently they have also increased sitting capacity, 4 more seats have been added in the rear toilet.
How in the Hell was this Aircraft taken to SA for repair if t was damaged in Lusaka??:-?
