British Airways connects Monrovia in Liberia with London Heathrow

• British Airways inaugurated operations on the route from its London Heathrow (LHR) hub to the Liberian capital of Monrovia (ROB), as it extended its service to Freetown (FNA) in Sierra Leone on 5 November. Thrice-weekly flights are operated on the West African route using 767-300ER. Although there is no direct competition on the route, British Airways will compete indirectly from Europe with Brussels Airlines’ thrice-weekly (one non-stop and twice-weekly via Abidjan) and Air France’s twice-weekly (via Conakry) services.
