The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has broken its silence after staff at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) downed their tools in protest against the government’s deal with Adani Airport Holdings.
In a statement on Wednesday, September 11, KAA noted that it was engaging with relevant parties to resume normal operations at the airport.
The authority apologised for the inconvenience and asked passengers to contact their respective airlines to confirm their flight status.
“As of 7:00 a.m., minimal operations had resumed at the airport. In the meantime, we are engaging relevant parties to normalise operations.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Meanwhile, we encourage passengers to reach out to their respective airlines to confirm their flight status,” KAA remarked.
KAA already confirmed flight delays and cancellations after the aviation workers at JKIA went on strike.

“Kenya Airways would like to alert you that due to the action by some JKIA staff, this has resulted in some delays and possible cancellations of some of our flights for both departing and arriving passengers,” KQ said in a statement on Wednesday morning.
While issuing a strike notice on August 12, the Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU) demanded the nullification of the government’s deal with the Indian firm, citing job losses.
The union also demanded the resignation of some senior staff in the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA).
On Tuesday, September 10, the High Court temporarily suspended implementation of the deal after a case challenging the deal was filed by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC).
