## Description

Established as Eastleigh Aerodrome in the colonial era and later renamed after President Daniel arap Moi, this Nairobi field today serves as headquarters of the Kenya Air Force. Military flying, pilot training and armed-forces airlift dominate its operations, with no scheduled passenger or commercial freight service. Goods bound for Kenyan importers and exporters are handled instead at Jomo Kenyatta International (NBO), only a short distance to the south-east. The base does see military supply runs and occasional logistics for regional peacekeeping deployments. For freight forwarders it carries no direct role, though it remains a fixed reference point in Nairobi's busy airspace.
