Jomo Kenyatta International Airport

Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (HKJK) sits 9 miles southeast of central Nairobi, Kenya. The single 13,508 ft runway handles every current business jet. Field elevation 5,330 ft, with significant year-round density-altitude considerations. Nairobi is east Africa's commercial hub — Kenya's national corporate community plus the broader EAC corporate flow, the structural safari-tourism flow (Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo), and the UN Nairobi (UNEP HQ). Ground time to downtown Nairobi is 30 minutes; Wilson Airport (Nairobi's GA reliever, more typical for safari connections) is 25.

Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is an international airport serving Nairobi, the capital and largest city of Kenya. It is located in the Embakasi suburb, approximately 18 kilometres (11 mi) southeast of Nairobi city centre. The airport has scheduled flights to destinations in over 50 countries. Originally named Embakasi Airport, the airport's name was changed in 1978 to honour Jomo Kenyatta, who was Kenya's first president and Prime Minister. The airport served over 9 million passengers and over 364,000 tonnes of cargo in 2024, making it the sixth busiest airport in passenger traffic in Africa. It is the busiest out of the four international airports in Kenya, the other three international airports being Kisumu International Airport, Eldoret International Airport and Moi International Airport in Mombasa.
