Delta Airlines may resume flights to Liberia
 |
AMERICAN BILLIONAIRE Robert Johnson is exerting his influence to facilitate the resumption of direct flights from the United States of America to Liberia.
At a meeting in Atlanta recently, the Chairman of Delta Airlines, James Whitehurst, described as good prospects for direct flights to Liberia by Delta.
Mr. Whitehurst, however, said that certain measures must be put in place to satisfy the Federal Aviation Authority conditions for the resumption of direct flights from the United States to Liberia.
An executive dispatch from Atlanta, said the measures include the privatisation of handling, and the provision of adequate security at the airport, as well as the upgrading of aviation equipment to international standards.
Once these measures have been put in place, the Delta Chief informed President Johnson Sirleaf that direct flights between the United States and Liberia could resume. And the Liberian aviation chief said that he was optimistic that Liberia would meet all conditions for the resumption of direct flights to the United States.
