Kenya aviation workers end strike that disrupted flights

Kenya's aviation workers have called off a strike that disrupted flights at its main international and other airports, according to Transport Minister Davis Chirchir and aviation workers union head Moss Ndiema. The strike, primarily by air traffic controllers on Sunday and Monday, disrupted several flights into and out of the main Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Delays also affected regional airports in East Africa and beyond, stranding hundreds of passengers. Kenya Airways reported delays exceeding six hours and cancelled some departures, while RwandAir cancelled two flights due to operational constraints. The Kenya Aviation Workers' Union had been demanding better working conditions and the implementation of a previously agreed deal, including a collective bargaining agreement. Negotiations between the union and airport managers had been ongoing.
