Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, (IATA: NBO, ICAO: HKJK) formerly called Nairobi International Airport is one of Kenya's large aviation facilities and the country's busiest international airport.

Located in Nairobi, Kenya, the airport is named after the former Kenyan leader Jomo Kenyatta. Until the 1970s the airport was named "Embakasi", reflecting the area on the outskirts of the city where it is located.

The airport is the main hub of Kenya Airways. The latest airline to start flying to the airport is Qatar Airways.

Jomo Kenyatta airport is served by one runway 06/24, and is fully ILS-equipped. The modern airport is served by a terminal building constructed in the 1970s. The old "Embakasi" terminal, now used for cargo and for a Kenya Air Force training facility, was constructed before the 1960s.

In 2004, the airport served 3,999,711 passengers (up +15.9% from 2003).
