From July to September 1994, Moi International Airport was used about continuously as a refueling station during the Operation Support Hope improver missionary station into Rwanda. Empty C-141 and C-5 bottom jet plane returning to Europe winged to Mombasa due to the scarceness of fuel in the African inside.
