Do thru pax on a KQ NBO-LVI-CPT one stop need visa for Zambia?
Looking at travel on a day where there is only a one stop flight. EF says only 40 minute ground time at LVI which suggests that thru pax just stay on the plane. But AF/FB says Visa may be required. Is this really true?

However, I know at least 2 instances in the last couple months where they have gone AOG in Livingstone and the whole pax load had to be disembarked and hotac-ed there, so it doesn't hurt to be admissable to Zambia.

You stay on the plane and no visa is required under normal circumstances. However, I know at least 2 instances in the last couple months where they have gone AOG in Livingstone and the whole pax load had to be disembarked and hotac-ed there, so it doesn't hurt to be admissable to Zambia.

If you're booked on this route anytime soon, expect significant disruptions as KQ are now short 2 E190s.

Would KQ have insurance to pay for repairs in this case?

Also, KQ started from 3 weekly ~2 years ago and are now having 12 weekly flights NBO-CPT, I doubt they'd do it for half-empty flights.
