A C-27J Spartan transport aircraft bearing the marking of the Zambian Air Force was seen the Lanseria International Airport on 21 August.

In 2015, Zambia ordered two C-27Js from Alenia Aeronautics to complement or replace its aging fleet of BAe 748s, Y-12 and MA60 transport aircraft. 

The Zambian C-27Js are allocated the serial numbers; AF002 and AF003.
