The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is no doubt Africa's premier hub. It serves as a transit point for major airlines as well as the gateway for visitors to other Africa's airports.

The airport also serves as a major cargo centre for both inbound and outbound goods. As the Kenya Airports Authority itself acknowledges, its importance as an aviation centre makes it the pace setter for other airports in the East African region.
