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.

In different months, ticket prices from Mombasa to Nairobi vary: minimum — $52 (February 2026), maximum — $77 (June 2026). Typically, the flight costs $64–$126.
