## Description

A 2,700 m² cargo warehouse opened in 2020, with racking, a cold room and upgraded power supply, lifted handling capacity at Roberts International Airport (ROB/GLRB) by roughly 60% to about 5,000 tonnes a year — modest by global standards, but decisive for Liberia. The airport sits at Harbel in Margibi County, some 56 km southeast of Monrovia, linked to the capital by the Robertsfield Highway. Almost all freight travels as belly cargo on scheduled passenger services; regular all-cargo freighter operations are not confirmed. Menzies Aviation, which absorbed the former NAS business, provides ramp, passenger and cargo handling for the carriers serving the field. Customs clearance takes place on site through the Liberia Revenue Authority, and pre-alerting shipments with complete documentation materially shortens dwell times. The cold room now makes ROB workable for pharmaceuticals and perishables that previously had to be cleared elsewhere. Shippers needing freighter capacity or larger volumes usually route via Abidjan (ABJ) or Accra (ACC), while sea-air combinations use the Freeport of Monrovia roughly 60 km away.
