to start full operation.

“We are very pleased to start our operations once again in Liberia. We
are now coming with a brand new aircraft for Air France-320 which will
offer 208 seats in the Liberian market,” he told journalists at the
time.

Liberia airspace.

Tuesday, renovation work was taking place in readiness for the flight
today.

here along with Delta and  other airline means a lot of work for us.
We are working on the new terminal  which will allow the airline and
other airlines to use,” a senior official  a the RIA said.

country. Not only for Liberians, but for many people around the world
who would want to do business here. So, when they start tomorrow, we
will love it and will help passengers. This will also make a good
competition. When you have competition, the  passengers benefit the
official who declined to be name said.”
