Freetown Airport Reopens

Westminster Group Plc (AIM: WSG), a leading supplier of managed services and technology-based security solutions worldwide, is pleased to announce that the government of Sierra Leone has confirmed that Freetown Airport Lungi (FNA) has been reopened for commercial flights as of 22 July 2020.

Commenting, Westminster's Country Director - Sierra Leone, Musayeroh Barrie, said:

"Since the airport was closed in March to all but essential traffic, we have continued to maintain security of the airport, kept all of our staff employed and safe, utilising the time to enhance their training ready for when the airport reopens.

"In addition to ensuring all our staff remained safe and well during these challenging times we have also supported the local community with much needed aid.

"We are pleased the airport has now reopened and flights are once again serving Sierra Leone, and we are looking forward to returning to the growth trajectory we saw earlier in the year.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our staff for their dedication and professionalism during this period, not least our ex-pat staff who have endured a significantly extended absence from their families."
