Moroni flights from London take 13-17 hours with one connection. The city is served by Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (HAH), located about 20km north of the city centre.
No direct flights operate from the UK. Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa offers the most reliable routing. Kenya Airways through Nairobi provides an alternative, with both options requiring overnight layovers on some schedules.
Return fares typically range from £600-800 in low season to £1,000-1,400 during peak periods. The Comoros remains one of the less-travelled African destinations, so flight options are limited.
Moroni is the capital of Comoros with a population of around 55,000. The volcanic archipelago sits in the Mozambique Channel between Madagascar and the African mainland. Taxis from the airport take 30-40 minutes.
