Info

International & Regional Links Nairobi maintains strong air links with Europe and the rest of Africa, with major airlines such as British Airways, KLM, Emirates, Swiss International, SN Brussels, and South African Airways flying from the city’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. The national carrier, Kenya Airways, flies daily to London, from where it links with the rest of Europe and the United States. Kenya Airways also recently launched a popular Far East service, flying thriceweekly flights to Bangkok and Hong Kong. Kenya is also home to Regional Air, which serves the major capitals in Eastern and Southern Africa. Mombasa is served by daily flights by Kenya Airways and Regional Air, while a third domestic carrier,Airkenya, offers reliable passage in a well-maintained fleet of older aircraft to Lamu and the main national parks. Most areas within Kenya are accessible by air, and licensed pilots may also hire light aircraft to do their own flying.
