Moscow is served by several major airports with distinct roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is typically the city’s primary international hub, favored by full-service carriers and SkyTeam airlines; it can be perceived as mid-to-premium in price and sits about 30–35 km north of the city center. Ground options include Aeroexpress trains to Belorussky station (35–45 min) and taxis or ride-hailing (40–70 min depending on traffic), with fares varying by provider. Vnukovo (VKO) often handles a mix of legacy and low-cost carriers, lying roughly 28–35 km southwest; Aeroexpress service (35–50 min), buses and taxis make transfers straightforward but traffic can lengthen journeys. Domodedovo (DME) is another major international gateway used by several international and budget airlines, about 42–45 km south; Aeroexpress to Paveletsky (45–55 min) and bus/taxi options are common. Lastly, Zhukovsky (ZIA) can be a secondary or low-cost option for some routes, located around 40–50 km southeast and usually served by charter and budget operators, with fewer public transit choices and longer transfer times. Pros across airports include international connectivity and multiple transit links; cons can be variable prices, peak-hour traffic, and differing levels of terminal services depending on the airport.

Which airline can fly direct from Moscow to Nairobi?
The following airlines operate direct flights on the route Moscow — Nairobi:
Nairobi is served mainly by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and the smaller Wilson Airport (WIL). Jomo Kenyatta is the country’s primary international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers like Kenya Airways and various international airlines; it typically handles long-haul and connecting traffic and can be pricier to fly into compared with budget-focused options. The airport lies about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, with road transfers usually taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; metered taxis, ride-hail services and private shuttles are common (fares vary widely). Wilson Airport, close to the CBD (roughly 5–10 km), mainly serves domestic and light-charter flights with smaller commuter airlines and can be quicker for regional connections. Pros: Jomo Kenyatta offers broad international connectivity and full-service facilities, while Wilson is convenient for domestic hops; cons: Jomo Kenyatta can be congested and traffic to the city is unpredictable, whereas Wilson has limited long-haul options.
