Ross Kennedy, Atta Chairman and Chief Executive of Africa Albida, said the terminal was now open for international and regional tourists and said he believed when international airlines started flying to the airport, airlift into Vic Falls by long-haul carriers would increase, creating major positive change. “Geographically, Vic Falls is a hub point for international tourists and the airport will add convenience by offering direct flights.”
In a recent column, Kennedy emphasises the airport’s unique value proposition: Victoria Falls lies at the centre of the finest tourism and wildlife destinations and countries on the planet.
