Chepgoiven is a small airstrip in the western Kenyan highlands at about 2,120 metres elevation, in the tea-growing area around Kericho and Bomet, with no IATA or ICAO code, no scheduled service and no cargo handling. It is used at most for charter, estate and medical flights; there is no freight terminal, cold-chain capacity or customs post. The region's tea leaves Kenya by truck through the Mombasa auction and seaport, while perishable air freight such as flowers and vegetables moves through Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta (NBO), east Africa's largest perishables gateway, with Eldoret (EDL) and Kisumu (KIS) as regional alternatives.
