Location
Ndola, Zambia
Peter Zuze Air Force Base, identified by ICAO code FLND, is a military airfield located in Ndola, the principal city of Zambia's Copperbelt Province. It serves as a base for the Zambia Air Force and is named in honor of a notable figure in Zambian military aviation history. The base is distinct from Ndola's primary commercial facility, Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport, which handles civilian air traffic in the region. Peter Zuze Air Force Base is primarily restricted to military operations and is not open to regular commercial passenger services.
