Delta Airlines will this Saturday, September 4, 2010 start a direct international flights to Liberia’s Roberts International Airport. This will be the first direct international commercial flight between the United States and Liberia in twenty years.
This is the second go around with the Delta flight arrangement to Liberia. In June 2009, the United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA) denied Delta Airlines direct flight to Monrovia, Liberia and to Nairobi, Kenya.
In a statement issued by the TSA, it said, “due to noted security vulnerabilities in and around Nairobi, and the failure to meet international security standards and appropriate recommended practices established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) at the Roberts International Airport in Monrovia, TSA is currently denying flights to Nairobi and Monrovia by Delta until security standards are met or security threat assessments change.”
