Spriggs Payne Airport guide

Spriggs Payne Airport is the city airport of Monrovia, Liberia. It sits in the Sinkor district, about 5 km from downtown, and handles domestic and short regional flights. Roberts International Airport, the country's main gateway, lies much farther out, so Spriggs Payne is the closer option for anyone based in the capital.

The airport has a single asphalt runway, 05/23, which measures 1,829 m (6,000 ft). It is one of only two paved runways in Liberia. The buildings are small and single-storey. They hold a passenger X-ray screening area, a waiting room, a small bar and immigration facilities for international arrivals.

Service has changed often. ASKY Airlines used the airport for flights to West African cities such as Accra, Banjul and Abidjan, while Eco World began domestic flights in January 2023 to counties including Maryland, Sinoe, Grand Gedeh and Lofa. Domestic flights matter in Liberia because roads to remote counties are poor. The Liberia Airport Authority runs the airport through a local management unit. No recent passenger or aircraft movement figures are published, so check schedules with the airlines before travelling.
