Flying to Nairobi -- Which airline is right for you?

     A trip to Nairobi is not just a journey but the beginning of an adventure. Currently (as of February 2025) there are no direct flights from Japan to Kenya, but that's exactly what makes the travel fun. There are various choices of stopovers such as Europe, Middle East and Asia.

     For example, via Doha, you can enjoy an elegant flight with Qatar Airways' luxury in-flight service. If you go via Istanbul, you can relax while experiencing a different culture with Turkish Airlines' gourmet cuisine. Passing through Dubai, the gateway to Asia, Emirates offers comfortable seats and plenty of entertainment.

     In this article, we introduce the major airlines to Nairobi based on our experience in air forwarding at the MOL Logistics Nairobi branch. If you're on an efficiency-oriented business trip, it is better to choose a route with short transit times and smooth connections. You can also choose a route to enjoy sightseeing at the stopover.

     Nairobi is known as “Africa's Gateway ” and is also a rapidly growing economic hub. On one hand, many international companies are based in Nairobi, where infrastructure development and industrial development are progressing, and business opportunities are expanding. On the other hand, a short distance from the city is a vast savannah and wildlife paradise. On safari tours, you will encounter the “Big Five ” and feel the breath of nature.

Nairobi is a special city that offers new possibilities in both business and nature. Why don't you take this opportunity to visit Kenya?
