Kenyan aviation workers ended a strike on Tuesday that had disrupted air traffic for two days at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in the capital city of Nairobi. The union, Kenya Aviation Workers Union, announced the strike had been called off immediately.
The two-day strike, which began on Sunday, caused numerous travelers to be stranded due to flight cancellations and delays. Hellen Moraa, a business traveler heading to the Netherlands via Dubai, expressed her frustration over the financial impact of the delays, calling the situation "unfair."
The strike affected airport operations across the country, with unionized employees alleging unfair hiring practices, insufficient compensation, and proposed changes to the management of Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a major transport hub for regional and international travel. The airport had already faced intermittent industrial action due to unionized workers' demands for better pay and working conditions.
