Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (IATA: LUN, ICAO: FLKK) is an international airport located in Chongwe District, off the Great East Road, approximately 27 kilometres (17 mi) northeast of the city centre of Lusaka, the capital and largest city of Zambia.

[11] In May 2012, KLM began operating a flight three times a week between Amsterdam and Lusaka using an Airbus A330-200.

[12][13] In 2015, the government of Zambia began a three-year, US$360 million expansion and improvement of the airport, with funds borrowed from the Exim Bank of China.

[14] The work, contracted to China Jiangxi International, involves construction of a new "two-story terminal building, 22 check-in counters, 12 border channels and six security check counters; a presidential terminal, a new air traffic control building and tower and a new hotel".

[20] After a significant drop due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and the opening of the new terminal in 2021, the airport surpassed its pre-pandemic level of passenger traffic in 2023 for the first time.
