LUSAKA, July 4 (Xinhua) -- An aviation firm from Singapore has expressed interest in investing in Zambia through the provision of air taxis to tourist attraction sites in the southern African nation, a senior official said on Wednesday.
Christopher Wong, executive director of Mass Acknowledge Jesus (MAJ) Aviation Management said this would be achieved by using aircrafts that have special water and landing capabilities.
The official, who was speaking when Zambia's Ambassador Extra-Ordinary and Plenipotentiary to Singapore Judith Kapijimpanga toured the firm's premises, said the firm's aircrafts were among the safest because they could land on both land and water, according to a statement released by the Zambia embassy.
Meanwhile, the Zambian envoy urged the firm to quickly visit the country in order to actualize its plans.
She expressed gratitude that the Singaporean firm has excelled in countries where it was operating, adding that services such as landing and taking off from rivers and lakes could attract more tourists to Zambia.
Zambia, she said, has put tourism on top of its agenda in driving the country's economic agenda.
