๐ข Terminal Information
Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN), formerly known as Lusaka International Airport, serves as Zambia's primary international gateway and the country's busiest aviation hub. The airport operates with a modern main terminal building that underwent significant renovations and expansion to meet growing international travel demands. The terminal is divided into separate domestic and international sections, with distinct processing areas for arrivals and departures, though both sections are housed within the same building complex.
The domestic terminal handles flights within Zambia and to regional African destinations, while the international terminal processes flights to and from major African cities, the Middle East, and intercontinental destinations. Transfer passengers moving between domestic and international flights typically need to collect luggage and re-check in due to the separate processing areas, though some airline partnerships allow for smoother connections. Security procedures are thorough and professional, adhering to international aviation standards, with additional health screenings that may be implemented during public health emergencies or seasonal requirements.
Amenities at LUN have improved significantly with recent modernization efforts, featuring duty-free shopping, restaurants serving both international cuisine and local Zambian specialties, comfortable seating areas with charging stations, and free Wi-Fi throughout the terminal. The airport houses airline lounges including facilities for Ethiopian Airlines and other carriers serving the region. Ground transportation includes taxi services, hotel shuttles, and rental car facilities, with the airport located approximately 27 kilometers northeast of Lusaka city center. The airport serves as an important connecting point for travelers exploring southern Africa, with particularly strong connections to neighboring countries and major African aviation hubs like Addis Ababa and Nairobi.
