How It Started

Our Story

TKACZ was founded in 2021 by aviation professional Imasiku Ignatious Muhau, driven by a simple but powerful observation: Zambia's aviation sector was facing a growing talent shortage, yet thousands of young Zambians had no accessible pathway into the industry.

What began as informal airport tours and career talks quickly grew into a structured organization offering simulation training, RC design competitions, air show experiences, and internationally recognized online courses — all designed to make aviation education accessible to every young Zambian, regardless of background or financial means.

Today, TKACZ stands as a recognized force in Zambia's aviation education landscape, with partnerships spanning international training providers, government bodies, and corporate sponsors committed to shaping Africa's aviation future.
