Kenya's primary airport located in Nairobi is set to return to regular activities following a resolution among employees to conclude a strike that lasted for two days.

 

 

Activities at Kenya's primary airport are anticipated to recommence and stabilize following the termination of a two-day strike by workers on Tuesday, after coming to terms with the transport ministry. 

 

The activities at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport came to a standstill on Monday, with flight delays reaching up to six hours, prompting airlines to advise travelers to modify their bookings. 

 

 In a statement, the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority announced that operations would commence again immediately, following the establishment of a return-to-work agreement with the trade union on Tuesday. 

 

The union was advocating for improved working conditions, wages, and benefits, and negotiations regarding the fulfillment of these demands took place on Tuesday. The airport serves as a key transportation center for both regional and global travel.

 

 Transport Minister Davies Chirchir reaffirmed the government's dedication to maintaining stability in the aviation industry. Kenya Airways stated that it was working towards restoring its schedule and indicated that "regular operations will start again within the next 24 hours." 

 

 Last week, airport workers submitted a strike notice after the authorities failed to execute part of an agreement with the union, which sought enhanced labor conditions, alongside higher wages and benefits.
