Kenya Airways is facing significant flight disruptions at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport following an industrial action by air traffic control workers. Delays of over six hours and cancellations have forced the national carrier to reschedule services. Jambojet also reported only two out of 55 flights scheduled for Monday operating, with five aircraft undergoing clearance due to the ongoing strike.
Hundreds of passengers are stranded at JKIA and other airports, with some spending the night at terminals or in hotels. The strike involves the Kenya Aviation Workers Union, which is demanding better welfare, working conditions, and implementation of agreed benefits. The Kenya Airports Authority is collaborating with airlines and other stakeholders to manage the situation and minimize its impact on passengers.
