Eastern Province's main airfield, Chipata (IATA: CIP, ICAO: FLCP), sits close to the Malawian border and roughly 500 kilometres north-east of Lusaka. Turboprop regional services plus charter and safari traffic towards the Luangwa Valley make up its schedule, and no freight terminal or cargo handling agent operates on the field. Air cargo for the province is cleared at Lusaka (LUN) or Ndola (NLA) and trucked onward, which keeps Chipata's freight role limited.
