## Description

Balesa lies in the far north of Kenya, in Marsabit County near the Ethiopian border, and its unpaved strip is used for occasional charter, mission and relief flights. There is no scheduled service, no cargo handling and no customs post, which leaves freight relevance minimal. Commercial air cargo for Kenya is processed at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta (NBO), roughly 600 km to the south, which is also the hub for perishables exports and customs clearance.
