## Description

Two cargo terminals, refrigerated storage, livestock handling, X-ray screening and a secure room for valuables: Victoria Falls International Airport (VFA), modernised in its 2016 expansion, offers genuine freight infrastructure. Its core business remains tourism to the Victoria Falls, and the lengthened runway takes wide-body jets whose belly-holds carry most of the cargo. Dedicated freighters are rare, and volumes swing sharply with the travel seasons. The airport mainly moves high-value and perishable goods plus supplies for the region's lodge and hotel trade. For freight forwarders it is the nearest air-cargo option in north-western Zimbabwe, backed by road links to Botswana and Zambia at the four-country meeting point. Its proximity to the Zambezi border bridge makes VFA a reference point for cross-border traffic.
