Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop NBO to NLA flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.

NBO to NLA questions
Is NBO–NLA running on time right now?
Some delays possible. The departure side at NBO is the weaker end, route health score 57/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from NBO to NLA?
Great-circle distance is 1,586 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 142–166 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does NBO–NLA fly?
Kenya Airways runs the route with about 2 flights a week (mon, fri). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at NBO and arrival-side delay at NLA, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
