The Liberia Civil Aviation Agency (LCAA) has begun strong negotiations with Dubai-based Emirates Airline to begin flight to Liberia. On Thursday, January 28, Director General of the LCAA, told that Liberia was receiving favorable responses from Fly Emirates and that the negotiations between the two parties continue to gain momentum on daily basis. He added, the air route will be stimulated between Monrovia and the United States if Emirates Airline begins flights to Liberia.
Analysts welcome the LCAA’s drive to land Emirates Airline in Liberia as the long-awaited American airline, Delta, continues to delay in resuming flights to the country. If all go as planned, Emirates will join SN Brussels, a Belgian airliner and Europe’s current biggest airliner flying to Liberia.
Three other leading African airliners, Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airways and Royal Air Maroc, including a host of smaller African airliners, are flying to Liberia. Williams also took the opportunity to laud Royal Air Maroc for commencing flights to Liberia. He said the Moroccan Government and Royal Air Maroc have over the years demonstrated their commitments to helping to improve Liberia’s aviation industry. But the Liberian aviation expert was quick to add that it would have been difficult for the LCAA to land such support from Morocco if the aviation industry had been politicized.
“What we actually need to improve aviation in Africa is the political will, not political interference,”
Richelieu Williams stated
