Southdowns Airport (IATA: KIW, ICAO: FLSO) is an airport serving Kitwe, a city in the Copperbelt Province in Zambia. The airport is located in Kalulushi District, in the countryside 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) southwest of Kitwe and 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south-east of Kalulushi.

The Ndola VOR-DME (Ident: VND) is located 30.8 nautical miles (57.0 km) east of the airport. The Southdowns non-directional beacon (Ident: KT) is located on the field.[4][5]

In December 2022, the Zambia Air Force stated that they want to take over administration of Southdowns Airport.[6] As of April 2024, the government of Zambia has agreed to transform Southdowns Airport into a military base, therefore transferring the management responsibilities from Zambia Airports Corporation Limited to the Zambian Air Force.[7]
