Air Liberia was a domestic airline based in Liberia.

History

[edit]

The airline formed in 1974 following a merger between Liberian National Airlines, which was established as Liberian National Airways in 1948,[1] and Ducor Air Transport (Datco). The carrier ceased trading in 1990 and ceased operations entirely in 2006.[2] It initially operated a prop fleet (Cessna 337's) joined by Britten-Norman Islander and Trislander aircraft in 1975 for scheduled services. In February 1978 an HS 748 was purchased from the manufacturer in order to operate domestic flights. The aircraft was written off in April 1983. A Boeing 737 was used for government VIP operations.
