"The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is a major transport hub regionally and internationally, with lots of trade and tourism passing through it. Kenyan flag carrier Kenya Airways issued a travel advisory to its customers, urging them to check the status of their flights before proceeding to the airport. The airline, as well as Tanzania's Precision Air, said air traffic control operation delays were affecting departures and arrivals at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, promising a schedule adjustment."
"Striking workers are demanding better working conditions, better pay and better benefits. The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority tried last week to get a court order to block the planned strike. "This is a complete strike action. I have not been served with any court order halting the strike," Moss Ndiema, the union's secretary general, told the Reuters news agency by phone."
A labor strike by members of Kenya's aviation union caused flight delays and disruptions at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. The walkout followed a dispute over pay increases, benefits and working conditions and came after a seven-day strike notice over implementation issues with a collective bargaining agreement. Kenya Airways and Precision Air cited air traffic control operation delays affecting departures and arrivals and advised passengers to confirm flight status before traveling. The Kenya Airports Authority said a contingency plan was in place and that it was engaging stakeholders to resolve the strike. The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority sought a court order to block the action but the union maintained the strike was complete.
