Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying from Nairobi to Mombasa.

What is the typical flight duration from Nairobi to Mombasa?

The flight from Nairobi to Mombasa covers about 260 miles. Nonstop flights typically take 1 hour, and the return leg from Mombasa to Nairobi is also about 1 hour.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

Are there any direct flights from Nairobi to Mombasa?

Yes, there are direct non-stop flights from Nairobi to Mombasa, currently operated by Jambojet and Kenya Airways, both flying daily. Jambojet offers 68 weekly flights with departures from early morning through late evening, while Kenya Airways operates 49 weekly flights including a late 23:59 departure. Together that's 117 non-stop flights each week, running every day of the week.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

What are the ground transportation options in Mombasa?

From Moi International Airport, the fastest and most-used option into Mombasa city center is a licensed taxi — Kenatco operates the official airport taxi service from outside both arrival halls, and the drive takes about 20 minutes. Ride-hailing via Uber and Bolt is also available, with Bolt fares to the SGR terminus starting around KES 203–362 and a trip time of roughly 17 minutes. Public buses do not run directly from the airport, though informal matatu minibuses do, but they are frequently overcrowded and not recommended. Car rental is available through Avis and Elephant at the airport, and private hotel or tour-operator shuttles are a further option. For most travelers, a licensed taxi or a ride-hailing car is the most reliable and commonly used way to reach the city.

Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Nairobi to Mombasa?

Yes, overnight red-eye flights operate from Nairobi to Mombasa. Kenya Airways runs a daily red-eye departing at 23:59 and landing at 00:59, arriving in the early hours just after midnight.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Which airlines usually operate this route from Nairobi to Mombasa?

Kenya Airways and Jambojet fly nonstop from Nairobi to Mombasa, operating daily with up to 117 weekly flights combined. Kenya Airways offers about 49 flights per week with departures spread from early morning through late evening, while Jambojet adds roughly 68 weekly flights across the day. Kenya Airways is a SkyTeam member, and Jambojet is not part of a global alliance.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Which airport should I use in Mombasa?

Mombasa has one main airport, Moi International Airport, which serves all domestic and international flights to the city. It is located about 10 km west of downtown Mombasa and near popular coastal resorts.

How do I get to Jomo Kenyatta Intl Airport from the city center?

From Nairobi city center, public bus routes 34 and 34J run frequently to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, taking roughly 45–60 minutes and offering the most budget-friendly option. Ride-hailing services like Uber and Bolt are readily available, as are official airport taxis and private transfers, which are faster and more comfortable for door-to-door convenience. Driving yourself is also possible via Moi Avenue, Uhuru Highway/A104, and then the B10 road, with both short-stay and long-stay paid parking at the airport. Taxis and ride-share are the most popular and fastest choices, while the bus remains the cheapest.

Are there hotels or sleeping facilities at Mombasa airport?

Moi International Airport in Mombasa has no directly connected or on-site hotel. Several hostels and hotels are located nearby, and some of them offer shuttle services for their guests. Public buses, taxis, and rideshare services like Uber are readily available outside the airport for reaching accommodations in Mombasa.

What facilities and services are available to travelers at Mombasa Moi International Airport?

Mombasa Moi International Airport offers restaurants, duty-free shops, currency exchange, ATMs, and a prayer room. Information desks are located in each of the two passenger terminals, and left-luggage facilities are available for passengers, with trolleys plentiful for a small fee. A business centre with basic facilities sits in the main terminal alongside VIP, business, and first-class lounges. There is a post office, and Wi-Fi is available inside the lounges. Banks at the airport also offer foreign exchange services.
References

Are there accessible services or children's facilities at the Nairobi and Mombasa airports?

At Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), travelers with reduced mobility have reserved parking spaces, accessible washrooms, and elevators, with wheelchairs available when requested through the airline at least 48 hours before departure; the 24/7 Sikika Center provides real-time support, and baby and child care rooms are available. At Moi International Airport (MBA), the terminals are generally wheelchair-accessible with limited disabled facilities, and passengers should contact their airline prior to travel for special assistance. Children's play areas are not a listed feature at either airport.

What aircraft are typically used on flights from Nairobi to Mombasa?

Jambojet operates most flights on this route, using De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft. Kenya Airways flies the remainder with Embraer E190 jets.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

Which airline alliances serve flights from Nairobi to Mombasa?

On the Nairobi to Mombasa route, the two carriers currently scheduled non-stop are Kenya Airways — a SkyTeam member — and Jambojet, its low-cost subsidiary, which belongs to no alliance. That makes SkyTeam the only alliance with a member airline flying this route non-stop; other alliances may serve it via connections, and Jambojet is the notable non-allied operator here.
