Renovations Underway at Lusaka’s Kenneth Kaunda Airport, Departure Lounge Temporarily Closed
Zambia Airports Corporation Limited (ZACL) has announced the temporary closure of the Departure Lounge in Terminal 1 at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN) in Lusaka. This closure is part of an ongoing renovation project aimed at enhancing passenger experience and upgrading the facility to modern standards.
Terminal 1, which exclusively handles domestic flights, has been reconfigured to ensure that operations remain seamless throughout the renovation period. Passengers traveling on domestic routes will be rerouted through alternative pathways within the terminal, and all domestic flights will continue as scheduled, without any disruptions to services.
ZACL has assured travelers that the renovations are being carried out with minimal impact on day-to-day airport operations. The corporation is committed to delivering an improved, world-class facility that will enhance efficiency and comfort for domestic passengers once the upgrades are completed.
Travel agents working with clients flying through Kenneth Kaunda International Airport should note that while the departure lounge is temporarily unavailable, the airport has implemented measures to ensure smooth operations. Agents are encouraged to inform their clients of the changes in terminal routing to avoid confusion during travel.
Renovations like these are part of a broader initiative to modernize Zambia’s airport infrastructure and accommodate the country’s growing passenger numbers. As domestic travel continues to expand, upgrades to facilities such as Terminal 1 will ensure that airports remain competitive and better equipped to handle increased traffic.
ZACL has promised to provide updates on the progress of the renovations in due course, keeping both passengers and stakeholders informed. These improvements mark another step in Zambia’s efforts to enhance its aviation sector and provide travelers with a better airport experience.
For African travel professionals, this development highlights not only the growth of Zambia’s aviation infrastructure but also the importance of keeping clients informed about temporary changes as airports undergo modernization. Agents should monitor updates from ZACL and Kenneth Kaunda International Airport to provide accurate and timely information to travelers.
As renovations progress, passengers can look forward to a revamped Terminal 1 that will better serve Lusaka’s growing domestic travel market. In the meantime, travelers are encouraged to arrive early to familiarize themselves with the temporary routing changes and enjoy a smooth journey through one of Zambia’s busiest airports.
