Aero Zambia was an airline based in Zambia.Aero Zambia replaced the bankrupt Zambia Airways and was admitted as a full member of IATA on 11 April 1996. The airline employed 300 staff and flew from Lusaka to destinations such as Johannesburg, Ndola, Nairobi, Harare and Dar es Salaam.[1] They offered Business and Economy Classes. Aero Zambia operated two Boeing 737-200's, 9J-AFU and 9J-AFW which was a Combi version.[2]

On 19 January 2000 the Zambian Government closed them down due to concerns with safety. The real reason was probably more to do with politics between David Tokoph and Zambian Government officials.[3]
