Airport Opening Date[edit]

In the Infobox, we have "Date Opened".

Now, in that section, should we indicate "the day the President commissioned the Airport" (which is the date stated; 05 August 2021) or should we indicate "the day the airport actually started operating" (which is 07 October 2021; mentioned in the sources)? Which one would people recommend?

I am asking because the "Zambia Airports Corporation Limited" (ZACL) celebrated the airport's 1 year anniversary on 07 October 2022, even though the "Infobox" here says that 05 August should have been 1 year. So, should we leave the Infobox as it is? GeographicAccountant (talk) 23:53, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've made the edit myself. I've changed "05 August 2021" to "07 October 2021" in the infobox and have also mentioned in the History section that this airport only started on 07 October 2021. (They needed anpther 2 months to be ready) GeographicAccountant (talk) 10:33, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
