ROB Airport Overview
To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Monrovia Airport.
What to Expect
The small terminal at Monrovia Airport (code: ROB), which opened in late 2017, primarily handles a few African routes. Reviews of the old terminal describe outdated facilities, dirty bathrooms, and airport staff seeking handouts or bribes, some of which may have improved with the new terminal. Facilities are basic, with two eateries and a few shops, including duty-free. WiFi is available in the airport lounge. See Airport Lounges in the guide below for location and access information.
