Government will spend Five Hundred and Twenty Two Million US dollars on the project.
Copperbelt Permanent Secretary Elias Kamanga has further disclosed that over four hundred households will be relocated from the area where the new airport will be constructed.
Mr. Kamanga says the process of verifying details of the 496 households to be displaced before they can be compensated and relocated to pave way for the works has started.
He has told a media briefing in Ndola that in the next ten days, officers from Cabinet Office will start verifying details of the affected households to be displaced.
The Copperbelt Permanent Secretary said once the new airport is constructed, it will re-position the Copperbelt and the country as a hub for air traffic in the region.
He revealed that one million passengers will be passing through the airport on an annual basis.
Among the facilities to be constructed at the facility include an air traffic tower, a five star hotel, a cargo terminal, a passenger terminal, a fire station and run way.
where is it being constructed? in Chililabombwe, Kalulushi, Mufulira or Kitwe? A Report must not omit important aspects of a story. Three International Airports: Lusaka, Ndola and Copperbelt International Airport.
Please dont, People from Copper belt are Poor and what is there to see from there anyway.
All the ignorant people were born there.
It is a Jerricho place there, sin and creed was born there
Thanks

I am forced for the first time to respond to this dick sucking and anus licking prostitute calling herself Mushota, it is not in the blood of some of us to boast of what we are or what we have, only inchushi have that kind of behavior. How dare this dog insults us on the Copperbelt? This one is just an ***** pretending to be what she is not. It is such fools who when they buy a car on dot com think that they are rich and can compare with someone who drives a K2,000,000 or more car with 00000 mileage from the showroom. Moneni insekete nga Cobra.
Yaba!! Awe Nubian Princess walipena……you really made my day. The airport is being belt in Ndola Close to the Congo boader on Mufulira road. just after the New Mitengo Cemetery!!
Thanks for the info Raja Bobbili. Please freelance for LT.
EXCELLENT. BUT IS THIS THE SIMON MWANSA KAPWEPWE OR SOMEONE HAS SUBOTAGED THE NAME OF KAPWEPWE? PEOPLE IN THE KNOW PLEASE THROW SOME LIGHT.
HOWEVER, IT IS GOOD THAT THE IDEA/PLAN OF THIS AIRPORT IS FINALLY BEING IMPLEMENTED. THIS WILL IMPROVE TOURISM AND TRIGGER OTHER SECTORS OF DEVELOPMENT. BUT, AS I ALWAYS SAY, THERE WILL BE NEED TO HAVE ELECTRICAL TRAINS FROM SOLWEZI, LUANSHYA, KITWE, NDOLA AND OTHER OBVIOUS PLACES. ZAMBIA ALSO NEEDS A FLAG CARRIER WHICH THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT THROUGH THEIR CURRENT PRESIDENT HAS PROMISED.
This one will be called Chilufya Sata Chitulika (CSC-Ndola International Airport). Mwansa Kapwepwe will be given back to the Army/Air Force and will still return the name!! Tapali bwafya bane!! EU has fully funded the project.
@3.1 THANKS FOR THE INTELLIGENCE.
I DON’T KNOW HOW BLIND LT ARE. BUT, I ALSO DON’T KNOW THAT THEY READ THROUGH THEIR COPY AND PASTE ITEMS. THE CAPTION FOR THIS TOPIC ISN’T TALKING ABOUT THE AIRPORT BUT MONGU-KALABO ROAD. I MISS PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISM IN ZAMBIA. NOWADAYS ZAMBIA’S JOURNALISM HAS JUST GONE TO DOGS.
Will it still be SIMON MWANSA KAPWEPWE OR SOMEONE HAS already SUBOTAGED the name OF KAPWEPWE?
No, It will be called Chilufya Sata Chitulika (CSC-Ndola International Airport) While Mwansa Kapwepwe will be given back to the Army/Air Force and will return the name siMwaKa Airport.
Good job Zambia! You make us proud! I think Hazaluza Hagain definitely!
Mushota you are talking again from below!
We all know that Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe Int’l Airport is in Ndola, but this Copperbelt Int’l Airport’s location is not given in this story by LT.
Nice move….ndola will be a prosperous city by 2030.
Nebo nkololesyafye ala bana ba ubupumbu nabukilisyamo bakolemba kwati musungwa wakwa Bin Laten. Leka webo mbone amasumbu yandi limbi nalikatwa kale kuti walyapo impata ne monde lelo paka kyelo. Webo Ka Musyota uleke imisale webo ala uli mwanakasi ukuikindika!
very mediocre reporting indeed,,i mean say where it is??!!
Ati near the Congo Border? Why near the Congo border? The Kopala is so big why not in Kalulushi which is 100% in Zambia if the Masaiti-Mpongwe area is too far? Security matters. I don’t trust Kongole people and rebels
