Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) is Nairobi’s primary international gateway and a major hub for East Africa, typically handling long-haul, regional and cargo traffic. Kenya Airways is usually the dominant carrier here alongside a mix of full-service and international airlines, with some low-cost operators on regional routes. The airport sits about 15 km southeast of the city centre, and road journeys commonly take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and ride-hailing services (Bolt/Uber) are frequent, airport shuttles operate to many hotels and public matatus can be a cheaper alternative — fares can range from roughly KES 300 for shuttles to KES 1,200–2,500 for taxis. Pros: extensive route network and modern facilities; cons: peak-time queues and variable transfer times into town.
Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) in Ikeja is Lagos’s primary international and domestic gateway, acting as a busy West African hub for national carriers and several major international airlines. Domestic operators such as Air Peace, Arik and other local carriers typically dominate internal routes, while regional and long‑haul services can be found on larger international carriers. Fares are variable — international tickets can be price‑competitive for the region, while domestic fares are often perceived as relatively high and changeable. The airport sits about 10–20 km from central Lagos; ride‑hailing and metered taxis usually take 20–60 minutes depending on traffic (roughly ₦2,000–7,000), while airport buses and shuttles are cheaper but less frequent. Pros: convenient international connections and multiple terminals; cons: frequent congestion, inconsistent amenities and potentially long surface transfers during peak hours.
