The Honorable Minister of Information and Civic Education, Chernor Bah, during the regular weekly press conference, affirmed that the only fee travelers are required to pay in cash at the Freetown International Airport is the established $25 Security Fee. He reassured citizens that all revised charges are incorporated into the ticket price, and the government is actively working to promote competition within the aviation sector.
Furthermore, Minister Bah disclosed that in the forthcoming month of April, Ethiopia Airlines will commence operations in Sierra Leone, and negotiations are underway with another airline. This development is part of the government's efforts to enhance connectivity and provide more travel options for citizens and visitors.
In a related development, the Deputy Minister of Justice, Alpha Sesay, Esq., emphasized the significance of strengthening the justice system, aligning with President Bio's overarching policy objectives.
