Kenya Airways (KQ) expects normal flight operations to resume on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, following the suspension of a strike by Air Traffic Control (ATC) workers on Tuesday morning, the airline announced. KQ stated that teams are actively addressing the flight backlog to restore regular operations, and affected passengers will be notified of their flight status through SMS, WhatsApp, and email using the contact information provided during their booking.
The airline urged passengers to update their contact details on the Manage My Booking platform to receive timely updates. KQ emphasized that rebooking requests must be submitted by September 20, 2026, and any fare differences resulting from changes in destination would apply. Passengers could also request refunds, with wholly unused tickets eligible for a full refund, while partially used tickets would receive a refund for the unused portion, minus the prorated value of the portion already traveled. Refund penalties would not be charged.
