Zambia Airways is poised to launch direct flights between Nairobi and Lusaka on June 27 , effectively disrupting Kenya Airways' monopoly on the route. Zambia Airways , backed by a 45 percent stake from Ethiopian Airlines , aims to reshape the aviation landscape along this South African corridor. The entry of Zambia Airways into this market signals a significant shift. Ethiopian Airlines' ascent to the forefront of Africa's aviation sector has been remarkable, surpassing regional rivals like Kenya Airways and South African Airways in revenue and profitability. Under the revival plan, Zambia Airways , dormant for over two decades since its liquidation in 1994, aims to operate a fleet of 12 aircraft by 2028.
