🇱🇷 Liberia Is Intentional About Leading Aviation Safety in West Africa ✈️

The Liberia Civil Aviation Authority (LCAA) is proud to host the 8th Technical Regulatory Review Meeting of the Banjul Accord Group Aviation Safety Oversight Organization (BAGASOO) right here in Monrovia.

The five-day summit, running from November 24–28, 2025, at the RLJ Kendeja Resort and Villas, brings together senior regulators and safety experts from across West Africa. The collective mission is clear: to finalize a unified regulatory framework, strengthen regional safety oversight, and achieve full compliance with ICAO global standards (SARPs).

Commitment to Global Benchmarks

Honorable Julius D. Dennis, Jr., Director General of the LCAA, welcomed delegates, highlighting Liberia's growing leadership and commitment. He stated: "Our goal is to ensure aviation safety and security oversight reaches the highest international standards. Your meaningful discussions will directly shape the competitive future of our region's aviation sector."

The Mandate for Harmonization

Mr. F. Augustine C. Tamba, Deputy Director General for Technical Services at the LCAA, emphasized the critical need for regulatory consistency. He explained the goal: "When you compare aviation regulations from Liberia with those of Ghana or Sierra Leone, they should be almost identical; the only difference being the country's name.” This consistency is vital for mutual recognition and resource sharing.

Regulatory Roadmap and Future Strategy

Mr. Jacob Idaewor, Director for Technical Support and Training from the BAGASOO Secretariat, detailed the core agenda. Delegates are reviewing the implementation plan of a comprehensive strategy and roadmap across critical domains:
🧑‍✈️ Personnel Licensing
🛠️ Airworthiness
🛫 Flight Operations
🛣️ Aerodromes
📡 Air Navigation Services

This collaborative work, chaired by Engr. Godwin G. Balang, is setting the decisive path toward a safer, more integrated African air transport market.

Liberia continues to support regional training and collaboration, demonstrating its intent to lead.

Follow our progress this week, as Liberia drives regional excellence in aviation safety.
