Industrial Dispute

Flight disruptions have been reported in and out of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on February 16, 2026, following the start of a go-slow by airport workers. The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) and various airlines have noted delays stemming from a labour dispute between the Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU) and the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA). Workers are protesting stalled collective bargaining agreement negotiations and delayed union dues.
