NAC2000 Corporation

NAC2000 organises the movement of cargo, clearing goods for import or export, preparing and submitting all the relevant documents, and handling taxes and duties on behalf of clients. Due to its close association with international airlines, NAC2000 can offer its clients preferential air freight rates.

The company handles different types of freight including dry cargo, perishables and live animals such as cats and dogs. The Ndola office now has a fully functional cold room for all perishable and temperature-sensitive cargo.

The company also has a cold storage unit at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, Lusaka, with 2,800 cubic metres of space, as well as space at Simon Kapwepwe International Airport, Ndola, and Harry Mwanga International Airport, Livingstone.

To better serve its customers and communicate with all its external stakeholders, NAC2000 has recently upgraded its systems by automating its aircraft cargo handling operations. This will enable them to meet all industry and regulatory requirements.

Corporate social responsibility

NAC2000 recently helped Game Rangers International deliver a year's supply of milk to the Lilayi Elephant Nursery. NAC2000 managed the initial storage of the 6 tonnes of elephant infant milk formula once it arrived in Zambia and cleared the milk through customs.

NAC2000 Corporation Ltd started life as National Air Charters, a cargo subsidiary of Zambia Airways Corporation Limited (QZ), the national airline of Zambia. The company operated the airline's cargo flights using Zambia Airways freighter aircrafts, the B707 and B757. When these aircraft were retired, National Air Charters began leasing cargo aircraft from other airlines.

In addition, the company was involved in warehousing, importing and exporting. In 1994, whilst Zambia Airways was placed in voluntary liquidation, its subsidiary National Air Charters continued, focussing on its ground handling service.

In 1999 the company was sold into private hands, and changed its name to NAC2000 Corporation Limited.

Take the headache out of travelling by using NAC2000′s passenger handling services. Popular with groups such as sports teams, school groups, church members or wedding parties, NAC2000 can also arrange chartered flights. The meet and assist service can be tailored to meet individual needs.

Trained staff will accompany passengers during their time at the airport – on arrival, before departure, or while waiting for a connecting flight. The company can also help with checking in or picking up luggage, and finding your way around the airport.

Uniformed NAC2000 staff members meet the passengers at the door of the aircraft, or the entrance to the terminal, with a welcome sign which may include the passenger's name, company name, logo or some other previously arranged symbol.

The guest is then assisted through the various checkpoints (security, passport control, and customs) to a waiting lounge or the arrivals area. NAC2000 is also happy to help with transfers and booking of accommodation. Guests will be escorted to the place where they are staying.
