The Center for Trade Policy and Development has called on the Ministry of Finance to release the financing plan for the Zambia Airways Limited.
The government, through the Ministry of Transport and Communications is set to relaunch the national airline this year.
CTPD Executive Director Isaac Mwaipopo says his organization continues to call on government to provide further financing plan for the national airline apart from the US$30 million that was announced.
Mr. Mwaipopo also maintains that the government should release the feasibility study that was conducted to show that the national airline will be profitable when relaunched.
He says Zambia should learn from South Africa and Malawi before relaunching the national airline.
He says Zambia is already indebted and hence the need to shelve the project until a time when the country is stable.
He has also noted that the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer of Zambia Airways shows that the government is going ahead to relaunch the national airline despite several calls for them to halt this project given the current economic standing for Zambia.
