About Spriggs Payne Airport
Spriggs Payne Airport is a small domestic and regional airport serving Monrovia, Liberia’s capital. Named after James Spriggs Payne, who served as president of Liberia in the late 19th century, it is located in the busy Sinkor section of the city and provides convenient access to central Monrovia’s business and political districts.
The airport has a single passenger terminal and one asphalt runway, and it primarily handles domestic services along with a limited number of regional flights to destinations in West Africa. Its compact layout allows passengers to move between check-in, security and the boarding area quickly.
Because the airport sits about 5 km from downtown Monrovia, it is much closer to the city centre than Roberts International Airport, Liberia’s main international gateway. Travelers can continue by taxi, private transfer, chauffeur service or rental car.
Although facilities are modest, the terminal provides essential passenger services including a waiting area with satellite television and a small bar. The airport’s central location makes it a practical choice for domestic travel and short regional connections.
