Nairobi is served primarily by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), the region’s main international hub that handles most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside some regional and low-cost operators. It sits about 15–20 km southeast of the city centre, with drive times commonly ranging from 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; airport shuttles, metered taxis and ride-hailing apps are widespread and are typically the fastest options, while matatus (shared minibuses) can be cheaper but slower. Wilson Airport (WIL) functions as a domestic and light-aircraft base for regional, charter and safari flights—closer to town at roughly 5–7 km and often preferred for onward connections to national parks. Travelers can expect Jomo Kenyatta to offer more extensive facilities and international connections, while Wilson is convenient for short hops and safari departures but has fewer passenger amenities.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) is Mumbai’s main international and domestic hub, serving full-service carriers and many premium international airlines alongside Indian network carriers. It’s typically viewed as the city’s primary, higher-end gateway and can be pricier than secondary airports for some routes. The airport sits about 20–25 km from South Mumbai’s business districts; travel times to central areas are commonly 30–60 minutes by taxi or app car depending on traffic, with fares generally ranging from modest local rates to mid-range airport surcharges, while the Mumbai suburban rail and metro connections can offer cheaper but slower alternatives. Pros: modern terminals, extensive flight choice and amenities; cons: congestion and variable transfer times during peak hours. Juhu Aerodrome (primarily for general aviation) and the smaller seaplane/heliport options are used mainly for private, charter and short-hop services rather than scheduled commercial flights, catering to business and leisure charters and scenic flights along the coast. These facilities are very close to the city’s western suburbs—often under 20 minutes to central Juhu or Bandra—and can be convenient for travellers prioritising speed and privacy, though they can be substantially more expensive per passenger than regular commercial options and offer limited public transport links. Pros: proximity and fast transfers for private flyers; cons: limited schedules, higher costs and fewer passenger amenities.
