Roberts International Airport (IATA: ROB, ICAO: GLRB), which is informally known as Roberts Field, is an international airport in Liberia in West Africa. The one-way runway airport is located near the town of Harbel about 35 miles (56 miles) from the capital Monrovia, the departure place and destination is called "Monrovia" and is sometimes called "RIA". The name of the airport is to commemorate the first president of Liberia, Joseph Jenkins Roberts. This facility with 11,000 feet (3,400 meters) runway is the US Space Shuttle program, the country's main airport, and the emergency landing point of one of the nation's only two airports. The airport is clearly the busiest and most important airline in the country and it is the only connection to Europe.

Both ICAO and the International Air Transport Association have their own airport and airline codes ICAO uses a four letter airport code (compared to the IATA 3 letter code). The ICAO code is based on the region and country of the airport. For example, the ICAO code of Charles de Gaulle Airport is LFPG. L represents Southern Europe, F, France, PG, Paris Charles de Gaulle and Orly Airport code is LFPO (third letter). In some cases, a particular Flight Information Area (FIR) or the latter two may be arbitrary. In most countries of the world ICAO and the International Air Transport Association code are irrelevant; for example, IATA code of Charles de Gaulle Airport is CDG. However, the prefix of the mainland location is K, and the ICAO code is the IATA code with this prefix. For example, the ICAO code of Los Angeles International Airport is KLAX. Canada follows a similar pattern in which the C prefix is ​​usually added to the IATA code to create an ICAO code. For example, Calgary International Airport is YYC or CYYC.
