## Description

Named after James Spriggs Payne, a nineteenth-century Liberian president, MLW is Monrovia's in-town airport, barely 5 km from the centre while the international Roberts field lies some 56 km away. It concentrates on domestic services – Eco World links the capital with Maryland, Sinoe, Grand Gedeh and Lofa counties – plus occasional regional hops within West Africa. The site is best known for hosting the United Nations flight-operations office and its helicopter fleet. There is no scheduled air-cargo handling here: Liberia's freight imports and exports clear through Roberts International, where the international carriers and customs are based. For forwarders, MLW is a passenger and UN field rather than a cargo address.
