About RubyAir
A direct line to Kenya’s north-east.
RubyAir flies scheduled domestic services between Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi and Mandera Airport, keeping the country’s far north-east within easy reach of the capital.
How RubyAir works
01
One route, done properly
Rather than spreading thin across a network, RubyAir concentrates on the Nairobi — Mandera sector: a single, direct, scheduled service that passengers can plan around.
02
Straightforward by design
Search, select and confirm. The booking journey is deliberately short, and the manage booking page lets you retrieve a trip with nothing more than a reference and a surname.
03
Built around the traveller
Families, business travellers, officials, health workers and pastoralist communities all use this corridor. The service is scheduled with that mix in mind.

The destination
Why Mandera matters
- Mandera sits in the far north-east of Kenya, at the point where Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia meet.
- It is roughly 805km from Nairobi by air — a journey that takes about two hours instead of well over a day by road.
- The town is a hub for cross-border trade, livestock, agriculture and humanitarian work across the wider Horn of Africa.
The airline
RubyAir operates one route
RubyAir operates direct scheduled domestic flights connecting JKIA in Nairobi and Mandera Airport (NDE). The service is bookable online, and a booking can be retrieved later with a reference and the lead passenger’s last name.
Extra baggage is arranged at the airport check-in desk, and reservations are available by phone and email for anything the website cannot settle on its own.
