Airline launched between Livingstone and Johannesburg
A flight has been introduced to Livingstone by One Time Airlines targetted to tap into the tourism potential to be provided by 2010 FIFA world Cup in South Africa.
Launching the maiden flight to Livingstone yesterday, Director for Africa One Time Airlines Graham Petersen said Livingstone meets the criteria of tourism and was optimistic that the Airline would be successful as it embarks on its Livingstone route.
He said upon arrival at Livingstone International Airport that his Airline was also targetting the 2010 World Cup as people coming to South Africa would also want to travel regionally.
Mr. Petersen said the Airline was expanding its routes into Africa adding that Livingstone was the second destination after launching the Airline.
He was optimistic that One Time Airlines would greatly contribute to the growth of tourism in the region as it has introduced reduced fares between Livingstone and Johannersburg at US$50.
Mr. Petersen said reduced fares had a positive impact on tourism as it led to increased travel.
And speaking at the same launch, National Airports Corporation Director of Airport Services Prince Chitimbwe said NAC was happy that they had another player on the market with cheap rates.

Thermometer and inshimbi(mercury is a metal as well)
Tourism is only good to the looters of our economy and all that our motherland has to offer. Ask your selves these questions;
1.where does the money end up?(Who owns those beneficiary companies in tourism)
2.How much money does the Zambian government realise from this industry as oppossed to How much it looses in trying to promote this industry? e.g “Tax insentives”
Though I can not provide employment to the Zambian men and women working in the tourism industry, I can urge all stakeholders of this new airline to be fair, ethical and share wealth.
If I was in office, i would build a hydo electric generation site at the victoria falls. I would also move the animals out of fertile farming land and give them to suitable farmers. Sorry, I choose Humans over animals. Thankyou!
There you have it thermometer. Another blogg. Happy now?!
Let us support this airline, surprising though, there is only one comment apart from mine, is it because there are no negatives and insults to go with this story.
