About Bamburi Airport
Bamburi Airport is a small airstrip located in Bamburi, Mombasa County, on Kenya's Indian Ocean coast. It serves general aviation, private charter flights and light aircraft rather than scheduled commercial airline services, providing a convenient air access point for the northern Mombasa area.
The airport sits about 12 kilometres north of central Mombasa and roughly 3 kilometres from the centre of Bamburi, at an elevation of about 24 metres above sea level. It has a single asphalt runway of approximately 985 metres, used mainly for light aircraft and charter operations.
Because it is not a scheduled-service airport, passenger facilities at the airstrip are limited. Most travellers continue from the airstrip by pre-arranged private transfer, taxi or rental car to Bamburi Beach, Nyali, central Mombasa and resorts along the north coast.
For scheduled domestic and international flights, Moi International Airport in Mombasa remains the main gateway to the region. Bamburi Airport offers a quieter, local option for private and charter travel close to Kenya's coastal resort areas.
