Traffic in Kenya is heavily concentrated: Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) alone handles about 8.0 million passengers a year, roughly 100% of the 8 million across the 4 airports listed here. That pattern is typical of a country with one dominant hub carrier feeding a single gateway.
Between them these airports operate 5 runways serving 4 cities, all on a single national clock. The highest field is Eldoret International Airport at 6,941 ft, where thinner air lengthens the takeoff run. Every airport below links to a live map of aircraft observed within available ADS-B coverage around the field.
The airports are spread across roughly 4 degrees of latitude and 5 degrees of longitude. The network is geographically compact enough that most domestic sectors remain comparatively short. Field elevations span 6,741 ft, so crews can move between very different takeoff-performance conditions. The average across this selected set is 1.2 runways per airport.
Read airport by airport, the selected Kenya network is not interchangeable: Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) has 1 runway and about 8.0 million annual passengers, Eldoret International Airport (EDL) has 1 runway and no comparable traffic figure, Moi International Airport (MBA) has 2 runways and no comparable traffic figure and Kisumu International Airport (KIS) has 1 runway and no comparable traffic figure. Those differences matter when comparing a live map. A larger passenger total indicates schedule scale, while runway count describes physical layout; neither number by itself proves how delayed, connected or operationally efficient an airport will be on a particular day.
With 4 gateways in this data cut, the Kenya hierarchy is readable directly: NBO contributes 100% of the represented passenger total, EDL contributes 0% of the represented passenger total, MBA contributes 0% of the represented passenger total and KIS contributes 0% of the represented passenger total. That makes NBO the first gateway here without reducing EDL to a minor field, since its traffic is about 0% of NBO's.
The physical ranking differs from the traffic ranking: MBA has 2 listed runways, NBO has 1 listed runway, EDL has 1 listed runway and KIS has 1 listed runway. EDL is the highest of the group at 6,941 ft, against 200 ft at MBA. Those facts describe layout and setting, not a live capacity forecast; weather, active runway configuration and traffic flow still decide what a viewer sees on the map at a given hour.
