Flights to Monrovia
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Monrovia is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Roberts International Airport (ROB), 49 km (30 mi) from the centre, whose 11,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Spriggs Payne Airport (MLW, 4 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roberts International Airport | ROB | 49 km (30 mi) | 11,000 ft | 31 ft |
| Spriggs Payne Airport (regional) | MLW | 4 km (2 mi) | 6,000 ft | 25 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,000 ft, ROB can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 31 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
