Khuphuka Kings Airways (Durban King Shaka) is a new South African start-up looking to offer dedicated cargo flights from Durban King Shaka to Lubumbashi via Ndola International. Owned by Khuphuka Investments Holdings, the carrier plans to operate an exclusively Russian fleet of two Il-76s and one An-12. Although Khuphuka Kings Airways will initially operate freighter flights, plans are in place to also introduce passenger aircraft to the route and to later expand into other parts of Africa.
