MONROVIA - The Government of Liberia regrets that British Airways has suspended flights to and from Liberia until the end of August. However, we fully understand that international airlines must keep the safety of customers and crew as their highest priority.

The Government of Liberia has installed a healthcare team at Roberts International Airport in Monrovia, with additional experts assigned from the Center for Disease Control. Currently all outgoing passengers are receiving mandatory checks, and we will continue to work around the clock with our international partners to ensure all our key international ports of entry are secure from any transfer of ebola, both incoming or outgoing. We will continue to engage openly and positively with regional and international carriers so that any suspended flights can be resumed as soon as possible.
