Liberia is poised for enhanced global connectivity following the official launch of RwandAir operations in the country. This initiative, spearheaded by Easy Continental Travel Agency, aims to invigorate Liberia's aviation sector while simultaneously showcasing the nation's rich tourism and cultural heritage on the international stage.
The launch signifies a major development for Liberian travelers, granting them direct access to RwandAir's comprehensive suite of services. These include seamless ticketing and reservations, personalized customer service, and exclusive travel promotions alongside expert consultation.
Enhanced Global Connectivity

I want to thank my colleague from the Liberian Airport Authority for coming because this is a boost not just for the country, but for our ministry and Agencies. We are open and willing to work with you all on any new ideas," she concluded, underscoring the government's commitment to supporting the growth of the aviation sector.
