- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

East Africa's hub, 40 minutes from the CBD and Westlands, with a general-aviation apron, 24-hour CIQ and a 4,100 m runway. Permits take a few days; UN and diplomatic traffic is heavy. Wilson is the base for onward safari flights.
