Nairobi is served primarily by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), the country’s main international hub that handles most long-haul and regional carriers, and Wilson Airport (WIL), which is typically a busy domestic and regional gateway for light aircraft and low-cost operators. Jomo Kenyatta is about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, with taxi or ride-hailing trips usually taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and costing roughly KES 1,000–3,000; airport shuttles and private transfers are also common. Wilson sits closer to the center (around 6–8 km) and can be reached in 15–30 minutes by taxi. Jomo Kenyatta offers more international connectivity and amenities but can be crowded; Wilson is convenient for short hops and avoids major highway congestion yet has more limited services and fewer long-haul options.
Antananarivo’s Ivato International Airport (TNR) is Madagascar’s main international gateway and typically serves both full-service carriers and regional budget operators, with domestic flights to other Malagasy cities often using smaller aircraft. Located about 16–20 km north of downtown, transfer times can be roughly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and private shuttles are common (fares usually range from modest flat rates to mid-level for private transfer), while occasional buses provide a cheaper but slower option. The airport is usually straightforward for arrivals and departures, offering basic amenities and car hire; however, facilities can be more limited than larger hubs, and peak traffic or road congestion can affect convenience.
