Kenya airport staff strike delays thousands of passengers

The Kenya Aviation Workers' Union (KAWU) said ‌the strike at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport was due to a range of grievances, including the inability to conclude a collective bargaining agreement with the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority and lack of ​cooperation from the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) and Kenya Airways.

Stranded travellers wait with their luggage after their flight operations were disrupted due to a strike by workers at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi, Kenya, August 30, 2026.

Flight delays at Kenya's main international airport on Monday affected thousands of travellers as airport workers' go-slow strike action continued into its second day, with ​the main union saying negotiations were ongoing.
