  "connection_tips": "Moyale Airport (OYL) serves the border town of Moyale in northern Kenya. For most travelers, the standard 'connection' to Moyale is via a long road journey from Nairobi or Marsabit. A significant tip: Moyale is a major customs point for the crossing into Ethiopia; ensure all paperwork is in order before arrival.\n\nWhile it is an active public civilian facility, it currently handles NO regular scheduled commercial airline services. If arriving at OYL via a sanctioned private flight, ground transport into the town center (approx. 5km away) must be pre-arranged with a local host or guesthouse Arrive at the strip early Moyale is a border town, and the airport is useful because it trims a long, dusty road trip into a short arrival.\n\nIt primarily serves domestic charters, government missions, and humanitarian flights The facility is utilitarian with basic waiting facilities. The ground handoff into the town should already be set, because the airport is a local access point rather than a backup plan. Travellers crossing into Ethiopia should expect border paperwork, fuel stops, and the possibility that the least complicated transfer is a pre-arranged private car rather than a same-day shared vehicle. A host pickup or private car should be set before landing, because the town is the part that matters most.",
