Nairobi is served mainly by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and Wilson Airport (WIL). Jomo Kenyatta is the primary international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers and some African and Middle Eastern airlines; fares here can be mid-to-high depending on carrier and season. It sits about 15–25 km southeast of the city center, with drive times typically 30–60 minutes by taxi or ride-hail depending on traffic and tolls; airport shuttles and private transfers are common, with fares varying by service. Pros: extensive international connections and full passenger facilities. Cons: peak-hour congestion and longer transfer times. Wilson Airport, located roughly 5–10 km south of central Nairobi, functions mainly as a domestic and regional feeder airport popular with safari carriers and light aircraft operators. It’s typically the budget-friendly option for domestic routes and charters, with short check-in and transfer times compared with the larger international airport. Ground access is usually 15–30 minutes by taxi or shuttle; fares are generally lower than to Jomo Kenyatta. Pros: close to the city, quicker boarding for domestic flights. Cons: limited international connections and more modest passenger amenities.

Koltsovo Airport (SVX) is Yekaterinburg’s main international hub, typically handling a mix of full-service carriers and regional airlines with some budget options on domestic routes. It lies about 16–18 km southeast of the city center, with an airport express bus and regular city buses taking roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and ride-hailing services usually take 25–40 minutes and can be more expensive. There’s also limited rail freight/passenger infrastructure nearby but no direct metro link. Pros: modern terminal facilities and a wide range of flight connections; cons: transfer times can vary with peak-hour congestion and some low-cost fares may route through secondary stops. Overall it’s the primary and most convenient gateway for Sverdlovsk Oblast.
