Wilson Airport has 2 runways, of which the longest is 5052 feet (1540 metres) long. The geographic coordinates of this airport are 1 degrees, 19 minutes, 18 seconds south (-1.321719) and 36 degrees, 48 minutes, 53 seconds east (36.814833). Sasa hi airstrip kwa by-pass ni Wilson gani?

@GG..the fellow meant the planned NEW Wilson airport. Been rumours for along time that it was to be built of kangundo road.

@Maina20...have also heard rumours of a change but no hard facts

The guys selling land on the eastern bypass have really been hyping up the story.How long would it be before it finally actualises

it is to be relocated away from the busy residential area. land already allocated some 40 km from nairobi kangundo road. same area also has a proposed site for a private airstrip.

Heathrow airport, the busiest in the world is located in the middle of a residential area (see google maps). Infact they wanted to demolish over 1000 residential houses so as to build a new runway. So location in a residential area isn't reason enough to move an airport.

Shame on you guys, the intended land is quite expansive, along eastern by-pass from thika superhighway junction...about 3km from thika rd, and extends for more than 8km if u are driving towards JKIA on your left......a very prime location due to connectivity to JKIA as well as thika superhighway...and runda etc along the by-pass.... lisemwalo liko!!!!

institutions like kenya airways, private universities et al have bought large tracts of land in nearby towns for future expansion. land speculators are already taking positions. the rest of you guys will come when land is selling over 1M

Ignore those rumors. Wilson airport is not being moved anywhere. Buy because of other reasons.
