There's not much here. A 2 level space, but the simplicity makes it easy to navigate and fast. Not a lot of traffic. Getting into Liberia at night is super dark. There are not a lot of city lights, so don't be surprised. Also, the airport itself has one store on the main level which is expensive. Upstairs, at the gates, there are more, but again expensive is the theme - as it is with all airports.
Get your flying out of the way in the mornings, as the afternoon rainshowers can actually close the airport due to low visibility. Clearance Delivery is non-existent, regardless of the listing on the Jepp or NACO page. Use Ground Control for clearance. The taxiway doesn't meet ICAO clearance standards for runway separation, so expect delays for departure when aircraft are arriving.
