Liberia suspends night flights over bad lighting
Liberia is to stop all night flights to its international and only-functioning airport outside the capital, Monrovia, from April for up to 10 months.
No flights will be able to land from midnight until 06:00.
This is to allow for work to be undertaken at Roberts International Airport to get it connected to a better electricity supply.
Bad lighting has recently caused a major airliner to divert and land in neighbouring Sierra Leone.
Meanwhile, Air France has announced it will stop flying to Liberia next month, citing economic and other reasons.
This leaves Brussel Airlines as the only Western airline flying to the West African nation.
