With all these international flights going in and out of Liberia, we need to expand and make the airport a modern one so that people will not walk or get in bus to reach the terminal. And besides that we to have two international airport. Please link my massage to Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf. If she needs charles taylor money I know some people who were banking for him. We have good lawyers in Liberia that we can put up a fight with DLH France at the international court of justice instead of having the case tried in France. I am saying this because I believe the Frech officials were bought by DLH.
This is a wonderful development that British Airways will be commencing flight to Liberia. One point of correction is that British Airways has never flown to liberia before. It was British Caledonia Airlines which use to come here.
