Zambia: Airline relaunch expected to revive flower industry
In an interview in Lusaka, Mr Mushimba said government will stay off clear from the day to day running of the national carrier.
Mr Mushimba said the bringing of Ethiopian Airlines as an equity partner will further guarantee independence in the running of Zambia Airways.
Mushimba: "We see the larger picture, there is the domino effect of setting up the airline because it will grow certain industries like tourism, agriculture and horticulture. Remember, we used to have a flower industry here and it died with the death of Zambia Airways. You can’t export your flowers through Kenya Airways which stops three, four times before getting to Europe because your flower will die.”
