World’s largest airline Delta Airlines Inc. on Sunday said that it would launch a new weekly service from its U.S. hub Atlanta to Monrovia, Liberia. It marks the first time in 20 years that a U.S. airline is planning to launch service to the West African nation recovering from more than a decade of civil war. Delta said that the service would be weekly, with a layover in Accra, Ghana. The country had been mired in a 11-year civil war starting in 1989 after a coup by American-educated Charles Taylor. Delta Airline’s inaugural direct flight from Monrovia to the United States opens the sky over Liberia for business, for commerce, for tourism, and for travel, Liberia President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said in a statement. Pan-Am was the last U.S.-based airline to offer service to the African country.
