Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) is Delhi’s primary international hub, handling most long‑haul and full‑service carriers while also serving some low‑cost airlines, making it the city’s main gateway. Located about 16–20 km southwest of central Delhi, travel times vary from 30–60 minutes by road depending on traffic; the Airport Express metro line links the terminals to New Delhi station in roughly 20 minutes for a moderate fare, while taxis and app cabs typically cost more and can take longer. Benefits include frequent international connectivity, modern terminals and a wide range of services; downsides can be busy peak‑hour crowds and variable road congestion, which may affect transfer comfort and timing.
Nairobi is served primarily by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), the country’s main international gateway and regional hub, and Wilson Airport (WIL), which handles many domestic and charter flights. Jomo Kenyatta typically hosts full-service carriers and some low-cost long-haul connections, and fares can be mid-to-premium compared with regional alternatives. It sits about 15–20 km southeast of the city centre; road transfers usually take 25–50 minutes depending on traffic, taxis and ride-shares cost roughly KES 1,000–3,000, and airport shuttles or hotel transfers are commonly available. Wilson is much closer to downtown (around 5–10 km) and is popular for short-haul and safari charters, offering quicker transfers but fewer facilities. Pros: JKIA provides extensive international connections and services; Wilson offers speed and convenience for domestic travel. Cons: traffic to JKIA can be heavy and terminal congestion is possible during peak times.
