Athi River is a small airstrip south-east of Nairobi, inside the Mavoko industrial and logistics belt with its cement works, warehousing and special economic zone. No cargo terminal, handling agent or air-freight customs service is established here; the strip serves light aircraft at most and has no independent freight function. Regional air cargo — cut flowers, vegetables and other perishables above all — is handled at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta (NBO), about 30 kilometres to the north-west and East Africa's leading freight airport, while Wilson Airport (WIL) concentrates general aviation.
