The Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU) suspended its strike on Tuesday, with government officials and the Central Organization of Trade Unions–Kenya (COTU-K) meeting to discuss outstanding issues. KAWU Secretary General Moss Ndiema announced that the union is effectively ending the strike action and urging members to restart normal operations, including resuming flight clearances.
