Travellers across East Africa were left stranded as a strike disrupted operations at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport before it was called off. RwandAir, Ethiopian, and Ugandan Airlines faced flight cancellations and delays. Ethiopian Airlines apologized for the inconvenience and assured passengers of monitoring the situation closely. The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority issued warnings of ongoing disruptions. The strike was in response to plans to lease JKIA to the Adani Group, leading to fears of job losses. Amidst the chaos, Kenya Airways continued limited operations, while Moi International Airport and other local airports were also affected. The situation is being addressed as the Comesa Competition Commission investigates airline treatment of affected passengers. The strike highlighted the importance of seamless travel operations and the need to address labor concerns in the aviation sector.
