JKIA Operations Halted as Workers Strike Over Adani Lease Deal, Kenya Airways Affected
Sep 11, 2024, 05:27 AM
Operations at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) have come to a standstill as aviation workers began a strike to protest the proposed leasing of the airport to Adani Airport Holdings. The strike, organized by the Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU), started at midnight and has caused significant delays and cancellations of flights. Passengers are stranded, with long queues reported and no flights taking off since the strike began. The workers are opposing the 30-year lease deal with the Indian firm, Adani Group, citing concerns over the takeover. Police have been deployed to manage the crowds of protesting workers, and there have been reports of chaotic scenes and security risks due to the mixing of arriving and departing passengers. Kenya Airways has warned of delays and cancellations, and the strike has also affected operations at Moi International Airport in Mombasa.
