Hundreds of passengers were stranded at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi after aviation workers went on strike, leading to flight delays, cancellations, and diversions. The Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU) is protesting the Kenya Airports Authority's (KAA) failure to finalize a new collective bargaining agreement and the use of National Youth Service volunteers as airport staff. Talks between the union and the Transport Cabinet Secretary are ongoing, but no breakthrough has been reported yet.
