Nairobi (NBO) → Dubai (DXB)

Nairobi to Dubai is East Africa's premier long-haul private sector — roughly five hours nonstop in a suitable jet, connecting Kenya's business capital with the Gulf's commercial hub. Flown privately, it means departing on your schedule, working or resting in a full-service cabin, and arriving through a dedicated VIP terminal rather than a crowded concourse.

The flight

The routing crosses the Horn of Africa and the Gulf of Aden before tracking up the Arabian Peninsula — around five hours in a super-midsize or large-cabin jet. Long-range departures operate from Jomo Kenyatta International (NBO), whose runway suits heavier jets; Wilson Airport can serve as your convenient departure point for a connecting positioning leg where needed.

Airports and arrival

Dubai offers two arrival options. Dubai International (DXB) is closest to the city and Downtown; Al Maktoum International (DWC) is the preferred private-aviation field, with fast, discreet VIP handling and no airline congestion. Both provide full FBO service — your car meets the aircraft, and formalities take minutes.

The right aircraft

• Super-midsize jets — the efficient nonstop choice for four to eight passengers.
• Large-cabin jets — Gulfstream and Falcon class: a bedroom-configurable cabin, full galley and the range to continue beyond the Gulf nonstop.
• Airline VVIP — for principals and delegations, a private airliner offers stateroom, boardroom and entourage seating on a single aircraft.

Good to know

• Time zones: Dubai is one hour ahead of Nairobi — an early departure lands you in the Gulf by mid-afternoon, in time for meetings or the evening.
• Documents: international sector — passports required; UAE entry requirements depend on nationality, with visa on arrival for many.
• Luggage: shopping-heavy return loads are a Dubai tradition — a private cabin absorbs them without excess-baggage negotiations.
• Onward travel: the Gulf is a natural gateway — London, the Mediterranean and Asia are all within one further sector on a long-range jet.
