A strike by aviation workers at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport led to flight cancellations and massive delays. The protest was called by the aviation workers’ union over disputes regarding labor agreements, warning that operational safety and crew schedules would be compromised if demands were not met. After intense government mediation, authorities confirmed the end of the protest and the immediate return to work, though details of the final agreement were not disclosed. The crisis revives tensions from 2024, when staff protested against failed bids linked to foreign groups, highlighting ongoing structural friction between management and local staff.
