Nairobi is served primarily by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and Wilson Airport (WIL). Jomo Kenyatta is the main international gateway and a regional hub, handling long-haul carriers and most full-service airlines; it can be relatively pricier on taxes and ground services compared with smaller fields. The airport sits about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, with taxis or ride-hail taking roughly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic (fares typically vary). Airport shuttles, express buses and private transfers are also common. Pros: wide range of international connections, full-service facilities; cons: busy peak periods and occasional congestion. Wilson Airport, closer to central Nairobi (about 5–10 km), is chiefly a domestic and regional charter base popular with light aircraft and low-cost regional carriers. It’s typically favored for short hops to safari airstrips and nearby towns. Surface options include taxis and short transfer times of about 15–30 minutes; fares are generally lower but services more basic. Pros: proximity to downtown and fast check-ins for regional flights; cons: limited international facilities and fewer amenities.

Fly direct from Nairobi to Almaty for the quickest, most convenient way to bridge East Africa and Central Asia — fewer hassles, less travel time, and more comfort on board. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop trip lets you arrive fresher and start exploring sooner, so check direct schedules and book the time-saving choice that fits your budget.

Facilities are generally modern for an international hub, offering lounges and duty-free, while occasional peak-time congestion and limited late-night services on some domestic routes can be downsides. Overall it balances convenience and range of connections, particularly for travelers seeking international or interregional links.
