Flights to Limuru
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Limuru is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), 39 km (24 mi) from the centre, whose 13,507-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Nairobi Wilson Airport (WIL, 30 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jomo Kenyatta International Airport | NBO | 39 km (24 mi) | 13,507 ft | 5,330 ft |
| Nairobi Wilson Airport (regional) | WIL | 30 km (19 mi) | 5,052 ft | 5,536 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 13,507 ft, NBO can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 5,330 ft; that altitude thins the air enough to affect take-off performance on hot days, which is why summer departures from high airports are sometimes weight-restricted.
