The facility has the capacity to accommodate 2 million passengers per annum with more room for expansion.
This is the problem now building things on nkongole.
Imwe ma half baked reporters where on earth would you build an airport with K8, 067, 348 as you report?
Do you read through what you ve written?
Ale lyamo. K8Million for constraction but bill ni K33 million….kikiki
This country is rotten in nkongole mwebantu
And some foooool will say Lazy Lungu has developed Zambia yet he has left us in debt…
Built to reap commissions by lungu and his gang………
2 000 000 passengers pa = 5400 passengers per day , everyday including Sundays = 54 average size 100 seater planes every day landing in Ndola…..
An airport 1/4 of the cost would have been enough……….
Everything was inflated just to line the pokets of a few greedy men.
Just pay the chinks their money.
