Airport guide

Southdowns Airport (FLSO) is a medium airport in Kitwe, Zambia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code FLSO or IATA code KIW. It sits in Africa.

Southdowns Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments.

Southdowns Airport sits at 4,145 ft above sea level. Hot-and-high conditions can meaningfully reduce takeoff performance in summer — planners should factor density altitude into payload and fuel decisions.

Local operations run on Africa/Lusaka. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.
