Matatizo ya ndege yameandikwa katika na nje ya Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) mnamo Februari 16, 2026, kufuatia mwanzo wa go-slow ya wafanyakazi wa viwanja vya ndege. Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) na nyingine za ndege zimeripoti kucheleweshwa kutokana na mzozo wa kazi kati ya Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU) na Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA).

Mnamo Februari 16, 2026, ndege zinazoingia na kutoka JKIA zimekabiliwa na kucheleweshwa kutokana na go-slow iliyoanza na wafanyakazi wa viwanja vya ndege. KAA ilitoa taarifa ikisema, "The Kenya Airport Authority informs the public of delays affecting departing flights at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport due to the ongoing labour dispute between the Kenya Aviation Workers Union and the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority." Matatizo pia yameathiriwa Kisumu Airport, na Seneta Khalwale miongoni mwa walioathirika.

KAWU ilitangaza hatua ya kazi mnamo Februari 9, 2026, ili kupinga mazungumzo yaliyokwama ya makubaliano ya pamoja (CBA), deni la michango ya muungano, na ubaguzi dhidi ya wafanyakazi wa mkataba. Muungano ulishtaki uongozi wa KCAA kwa kukataa mazungumzo na kushindwa kutekeleza makubaliano yaliyosubiri tangu 2015.

Mnamo Februari 13, Mahakama ya Mahusiano ya Kazi na Ajira (ELRC) ilizuiwa kwa muda hatua ya kazi, ikitoa amri za muda zilizozuia hatua yoyote ya viwandani inayoweza kusababisha matatizo hadi kesi itaposikilizwa na kuamuliwa. Hata hivyo, KAWU ilisisitiza kuwa itaendelea na hatua, ikisema mishahara haijalipwa kwa miaka na wafanyakazi hawawezi kustahimili gharama za maisha.

Mnamo Februari 14, Katibu Mkuu wa KAWU Moss Ndiema alitangaza kuwa muungano utapanga wafanyakazi katika kitovu kikubwa cha anga nchini kwa hatua ya kazi. Alionya, “So to anybody and everybody who cares, we are going to have a tumultuous week. I just want to ask you to prepare; it could be today, it could be tomorrow... just prepare.”

KCAA ilizamisha hatua za dharura ili kuhakikisha usalama wa anga na kuendelea kwa huduma. Mkurugenzi Mkuu Emile Arao alisema, "KCAA remains fully committed to its statutory mandate of ensuring the safety, security, and regulatory oversight of Kenya's civil aviation sector." Ndege ziliishauriwa kurekebisha ratiba zao na abiria kutarajia mabadiliko. KAA ilisisitiza kujitolea kwake kwa kuhifadhi usalama na ubora wa uendeshaji katika viwanja vyote chini ya usimamizi wake.
