THE Zambia Association of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ZACCI) has commended Emirates Airlines for upgrading the aircraft coming to Zambia. Recently, Emirates and British Airways have had challenges which led to their scheduled flights experiencing faults mid-air resulting in emergency landings or aborting of flights.
ZACCI vice president for south Chabuka Kawesha says the landing of the biggest carrier Boeing 777 in Lusaka by Emirates is a positive move towards raising the standards of planes coming to Zambia.
?We are expressing our happiness over the landing of this plane. It?s our hope and belief that the initiative from Emirates responds to concerns from the public over the comfort, quality, age and standard of planes sent to Zambia,? he said.
Dr Chabuka said this in a statement released in Lusaka yesterday. He, however, said ZACCI is still waiting for the position from the civil aviation authorities regarding the near mishaps to the travelling public and business community many who are travellers on both Emirates and British Airways.
He said reasons expressed by both airlines through their local offices have been very unsatisfactory and disappointing to both the business community and the general public which prompted ZACCI to question the silence from the airlines, national airports and civil aviation department.
Recently, ZACCI expressed concern on the near-fatalities of airline carriers being used by renowned international airlines between Lusaka and London and between Lusaka and Dubai.
It urged the Department of Civil Aviation to break its silence and issue a comprehensive statement on the quality of airplanes that British Airways (BA) and Emirates are sending to Zambia. (Source: Daily Mail)
