The airport is located on the Kenyan Coast at coordinates 040143.08S 039352.089E. It is about 10 Km from the City of Mombasa on a North Westerly direction.

Moi International Airport grew from what was known as Port Reitz Airport, which was constructed during the Second World War to serve as military airfield accommodating DC-3.

On realizing the tourism potential of the Coast Region, the Government of Kenya decided in the early 70's to expand the Port Reitz airport in order to accommodate larger aircraft that would enable bigger passenger numbers to come to Mombasa.

We have since continued to grow in terms of facilities as well as passenger figures and are currently close 1 million passengers a year with the potential to handle slightly over 2 million passengers a year.
