Mombasa is served primarily by Moi International Airport (MBA), the region’s main international gateway and a hub for several Kenyan and regional carriers; it can handle a mix of full-service and budget airlines, especially during peak tourist seasons. The airport sits roughly 20–25 km northwest of Mombasa’s city centre, with taxi or ride-hail trips typically taking 25–45 minutes depending on traffic and costing roughly the equivalent of a modest local fare, while airport shuttles and private transfers can be slightly cheaper per person on shared services. Pros: straightforward layout and frequent domestic connections to Nairobi; cons: can be busy during holiday periods and ground transport times vary with congestion.
Nairobi’s main international gateway is Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), a full-service hub handling most long-haul and regional carriers including flag and major international airlines; it’s generally perceived as mid-to-premium in price compared with regional peers. NBO sits about 15–20 km southeast of the city center — expect drive times of 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, with taxis, ride-hailing and airport shuttles commonly used; fares typically range from modest cab rates to higher ride-hail prices in peak hours. The airport offers full passenger services and lounges, but congestion and security queues can make peak-time transfers less comfortable. Wilson Airport (WIL) serves as Nairobi’s primary domestic and light-aviation airport, catering mostly to regional commuter airlines, safari charters and private flights. Located roughly 4–6 km south of downtown, travel to the center is quick — often 15–30 minutes by taxi or shuttle — and fares are usually lower than to the international airport. Wilson is valued for speedy check-ins and direct access to domestic destinations, though facilities are more basic and capacity is limited compared with the international terminal.
