Zambia imposes new airport security tax

Thursday, January 6th 2011

The National Airports Corporation Zambia has introduced a security charge payable at all NACL airports in Zambia, effective from the beginning of January 2011.

The charge is effective at Lusaka, Livingstone, Ndola and Mfuwe and can be paid at the same time as departure tax. It applies to all scheduled and charter passengers departing from any NACL airport.

The new security charge is US$3 per person per sector on domestic flights. Passengers in transit only pay the security charge once at the airport of departure.

A US$5 international security charge has also been implemented for Lusaka and Livingstone airports, and you are advised to check with the international carriers before travel to ensure the amount is included in cost of the ticket.
