Nairobi is served mainly by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and the smaller Wilson Airport (WIL). Jomo Kenyatta functions as Kenya’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and regional carriers such as Kenya Airways and major global airlines; it can be pricier on taxes/fees but offers extensive connections. The airport sits about 15–20 km southeast of Nairobi’s CBD, with road transfer times typically ranging 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; airport shuttles, taxis and ride-hailing apps are commonly used and fares can vary widely. Wilson is a domestic and light-charter airfield favored by regional and safari operators, located roughly 5–10 km from the city center with short taxi rides; it’s convenient for quick regional hops but has fewer amenities than NBO. Pros: broad international choice and services at Jomo Kenyatta; quick regional departures from Wilson. Cons: road congestion can make transfers unpredictable, and Wilson lacks large-scale facilities.
