BA in Zambia

No. That does not make sense. BA do not do any pure cargo flights from Lusaka anyway.
The fruit, veg & flowers are handled by MK, Das & others.
Every year at the Travel shows (WTM, Indaba etc) BA always say that the Lusaka route is 'marginal' and it is under consideration for the axe! Hope they have not made a negative decision.
We take about 6000 pax a year from BA into the internal tourist destinations. It will leave a hell of a dent in the tourist trade.
We keep hearing about Virgin (Nationwide?) going to Europe from Livingstone but I dont think Livingstone Airport can handle the aircraft yet.

Gunns..
Still nothing on the BA web. Where did you actually hear the original report?
