Addis Ababa Bole International (ADD) is Ethiopia’s primary international gateway and a major African hub, serving a mix of full-service carriers—most notably Ethiopian Airlines—and a range of regional and some low-cost operators. Fares to/from ADD can be competitive on intercontinental routes thanks to hub connectivity, while domestic-sector pricing is typically moderate. The airport lies about 7–10 km southeast of the city centre; taxis take roughly 20–40 minutes depending on traffic and can be metered or charged by negotiation, while airport shuttles and ride-hail options may offer fixed fares. Pros: modern terminal facilities, extensive international connections and decent transit amenities. Cons: can be busy with occasional congestion and security queues during peak periods.

Nairobi is mainly served by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) as the country’s primary international gateway and a regional hub for long-haul and connecting flights; Wilson Airport (WIL) sits closer to the city and typically handles domestic and light aircraft services. NBO is used by full-service carriers and several African and Middle Eastern airlines, while WIL is popular with domestic carriers, charter operators and safari flights. Jomo Kenyatta is about 15–20 km southeast of the CBD, usually a 25–45 minute drive depending on traffic with taxis, ride-hailing apps and airport shuttles commonly available; fares can vary from modest to moderate. Wilson lies roughly 4–6 km south, often 10–25 minutes by car. Pros: NBO provides extensive international connectivity and terminal facilities; cons: peak-time road congestion can lengthen transfer times.
