Air Travel and Airports in Kenya

Nairobi is the main gateway to Kenya and the most common point of entry for international travelers. The city is served by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, one of East Africa’s busiest airports. Thanks to strong airline competition, flights to Nairobi are often reasonably priced and widely available from major cities around the world.

A wide range of international airlines operate flights to Kenya, including British Airways, Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, KLM, Kenya Airways, EgyptAir, and many others connecting Kenya to destinations across Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Also located in Nairobi, Wilson Airport mainly handles domestic flights and regional travel to nearby countries such as Tanzania, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is especially popular for safari connections and local travel within Kenya. Airlines operating from Wilson Airport include Airkenya, Fly-SAX, and Safarilink Aviation.

The second-largest airport in Kenya is Moi International Airport, located in the coastal city of Mombasa. This airport serves both domestic and international flights and is an important hub for tourists visiting Kenya’s beaches and coastal attractions. International airlines operating here include Condor, RwandAir, Turkish Airlines, Kenya Airways, and Ethiopian Airlines.
