Flight operations at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) were disrupted on Sunday by a go-slow involving staff from the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) and the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA). This action led to significant delays, with several flights scheduled to depart as early as 8am remaining on the ground for several hours afterwards. Consequently, hundreds of passengers found themselves stranded, awaiting updates on their departure times.
The disruption has caused considerable frustration among travelers, as airlines have yet to provide clear timelines regarding when normal operations will resume. Consequently, passengers have been advised to anticipate major delays as the go-slow continues to impact airport operations. One passenger recounted their experience of being in a plane, waiting for over an hour without any explanation.
Further updates on this developing situation are expected to be provided shortly. The incident at JKIA serves as a reminder of the critical role air traffic control staff play in ensuring the smooth functioning of airport operations.
