Kenya: Passengers stranded amid airport staff strike

Thousands of passengers were stranded or significantly delayed at Kenya's largest international airport, Jomo Kenyatta Airport in Nairobi, due to an ongoing strike by the Kenya Aviation Workers' Union (KAWU). The strike, now entering its second day, is part of a series of disputes over poor working conditions and the absence of a collective bargaining agreement with the Civil Aviation Authority. KAWU has criticized the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) for not supporting workers and expressed opposition to plans involving youth volunteers as airport staff. Despite meetings with government officials, no resolution has been reached. Airlines such as Kenya Airways and RwandAir reported delays and cancellations, while the KAA stated they are collaborating with aviation agencies and stakeholders to mitigate disruptions.
