EMBARRASSING NEWS FOR WEAH GOVERNMENT AS BRUSSELS AIRLINES CANCELS ALL FLIGHTS TO LIBERIA DUE TO THE DANGEROUSLY UNSAFE CONDITIONS AT AIRPORT

Date:

LIBERIA – Brussels Airlines is forced to cancel its flights between Brussels Airport, Belgium, and Monrovia Airport, Liberia until further notice.

In a statement to local newspapers, the Belgian airline explained that it had to take drastic measures as the airport lacks proper approach and landing systems in accordance with the airline’s operating procedures and with international aviation law.

The statement said frontpageafrica knows that the ICAO gave Liberia three months’ time to repair the damaged equipment, including the navigation systems and the Instrument Landing System (ILS) Localizer at the airport of Monrovia.

During a “grace period” of three months, Brussels Airlines was still able to operate flights towards the country but has now informed the airport authorities that it no longer can continue to risk its aircraft and flout Belgian aviation laws.

The airport also faces other problems as on 27 April, Brussels Airlines had to turn back to Freetown, Sierra Leone over a power outage at the airport of Monrovia.

Reporters have been told that a complete renovation to fix all the problems would cost around $20 million.
