KKIA IN POWER FAILURE
Transport and Logistics Minister FRANK TAYALI says the power failure experienced at the KENNETH KAUNDA International Airport on Friday night was due to a power surge which affected various aero systems.
Mr. TAYALI says electricians from the Zambia Airports Corporation Limited are investigating why the system was unable to detect the power surge which has resulted in damage of equipment.
In an interview with ZNBC news, he said the aero systems have functioning capacity to detect low or high voltage but failed to detect the surge.
Mr. TAYALI said this resulted into temporary outage of runway lights which caused delay in landing for an emirates flight for about two hours.
He said the power surge also caused damage to aero bridge number five which is currently not functioning.

The police shouod check that there is not a private jet parked in the presidential slot, fully loaded with gold and cash.
Some people can never be trusted with our precious minerals.
The runways should have a secondary system to fall back on should the main line go off, some planes come with fuel to last UpTo the next airport and would not manage to float for hours waiting for power restoration
Rubbish half baked ekectricians. This is what happens when you employ your relatives and cadres which have no idea on what to do.
