Delta Commences Direct Flights Between Liberia and America
September 6th, 2010 - 9:20 pm ICT by Sampurn WireWashington, September 6, 2010 (Just Flashed): Delta Air Lines Inc. has initiated undeviating air travel from America to Liberia, which is a country in the west of Africa. This initiation has facilitated Delta to become the initial American carrier to serve Liberia ever since the conclusion of more than a decade of civil warfare in Liberia. This civil warfare wolfed the lives of blameless Liberians along with terrorizing and mutilating other unsuspecting Liberian nationals.
A proclamation discharged on Sunday by Delta has mentioned that the flights will function weekly between the Liberian capital in Monrovia and Delta’s heart in Atlanta. There will be a stopover in Accra, the Ghanaian capital. Brussels Airlines also soars to America with halts in Brussels and London. Nonetheless, Delta offers the solitary undeviating flight from Liberia to America.
Prior to the eruption of hideous civil strife in Liberia in 1989, foremost airlines such as Pan American World Airways, Air France and also the Concord soared unswervingly to Liberia.
The Liberian President happens to be Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who currently happens to be the lone female head of state elected in Africa. Sirleaf greeted the maiden flight on the airstrip. She has mentioned that this introductory flight has mental importance for the ordinary Liberians.
