Kenya Airways has resumed normal operations following a two-day strike by aviation workers that disrupted flights at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. The Kenya Aviation Workers Union called off the strike on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, after reaching an agreement with relevant authorities. Passengers are advised to check flight statuses before heading to the airport to avoid delays.
The strike, which affected air traffic control operations, led to flight cancellations and rescheduling. Kenya Airways issued an apology for the disruptions, acknowledging the impact on travelers. While the airport has returned to regular service, some flights remain delayed by up to six hours. The airline urged passengers to stay informed through official channels for the latest updates.
The union had previously warned of potential service interruptions, and the strike highlighted ongoing challenges in the aviation sector. With operations back to normal, the focus now shifts to managing the backlog of delayed flights and ensuring smoother travel experiences moving forward.
