Airport Overview
The Mongu Airport is not frequently used and has no refueling capability. Primarily private and charter aircrafts use the facilities. In times of disasters, more especially in the flood plains of Shangombo area of western province, the airport is used as a staging area for the dispatch of relief aid to flood-prone areas. The airport is now managed by the Zambia Airports Corporation Limited (ZACL) after a take over from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
