Kitale Airport

Kitale Airport, established in the mid-20th century, is a compact regional airport with a single small terminal that serves the agricultural hub of Trans-Nzoia County. Primarily important for domestic travel, it handles scheduled and charter flights that connect Kitale with Nairobi and other Kenyan towns, making it a convenient gateway for safari and business travelers. The airport is a short drive from downtown Kitale, with regular matatu, taxi and private transfer options and good road links to nearby cities; the nearest major international airports are Eldoret and Nairobi. Not a base for major international carriers, Kitale is generally considered affordable for travelers using regional operators and charters.
