Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (IATA: LUN, ICAO: FLKK) is an international airport in Lusaka, Zambia, and was the hub of Zambian Airways. It was officially known as Lusaka International Airport before being renamed in 2011 in honour of Kenneth Kaunda, the nation's first president. The airport has a capacity of two million passengers per year.[2] The airport has a number of amenities and resources including a restaurant, bar, convenience store, domestic and international ATMs, and mobile telecom storefronts (to purchase local cell phones or SIM cards and credit for international phones).

Location[edit]
The airport is located off the Great East Road, approximately 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) northeast of the central business district of Lusaka, the capital and largest city of Zambia.[3]
Airlines and destinations[edit]
Ground transportation[edit]
Taxis are the most common form of transport to and from the city, as distances are fairly short 15 to 20-minute ride to the city centre. Most major car hire companies are represented, however reservations should be made in advance to arrange for a pick-up, as most rental offices are in the city. There is also a mini-bus service that passes by the airport, but only serves a single route to the city centre via Great East Road.
