Wilson Airport is a type of public and civilian airport. It is located in Nairobi country, lies approximately 4 kilometers (2.5 mi), by road, south of the central business district; nearby suburbs include Langata, South C, and Kibera. This airport is originally named after Florence Kerr Wilson, a pioneer of aviation in Kenya, and is ideal for travelers looking to avoid the larger, busier Jomo Keyatta Airport. The Wilson Airport has flights to many regional airports in Kenya for the passengers, while Nairobi’s main airport, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, serves domestic and many international destinations. Kenya Airports Authority owns Wilson Airport, and it serves Nairobi. It is a popular hub for Aircraft Leasing Services, Airkenya Express, Baracuda Airways, Fly-SAX, and Safarilink. The best thing about the Wilson Airport is that it serves domestic and many international destinations. It is mainly used by general aviation traffic and industries like tourism, health care, and agriculture. In this airport, there are two asphalt runways that serve domestic and international traffic; Wilson Airport is the smaller of the two airports; that’s why it is less dominated by tourist traffic.
