Zambia Travel Guide - Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport
Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport (SKIA), in Zambia, serves both international and domestic flights. Opened in 2021, Kitwe and Ndola both on Zambia's Copperbelt are served by this small but efficient airport.
Each year, this airport serves an estimated annual passenger count of 8,000 and performs over 20,000 takeoffs and landings, and also acts as a training ground for local and foreign pilots alike.
The original airport was constructed in 1938 for military use until 1958; however, as more houses were constructed nearby the runways became too long for modern wide-body aircraft to use them effectively.
SKIA has evolved into a relatively calm airport that provides travelers with peace and serenity during travel chaos. Flights operate with 12-seat Cessna Caravans, while gate agents accompany travelers directly onto the tarmac.
At SKIA you will find numerous restaurants and bars. In addition to that there are also a few hotels and resorts.
Arrive at SKIA two hours before your flight's scheduled departure so you have ample time to collect your boarding pass and drop off any luggage you may have.
