[Kenya: Nairobi Airport Delays Due to Labor Dispute, Some Flights Affected] ⑴ The Kenya Airports Authority stated on Monday that Nairobi's main airport is experiencing flight delays due to a labor dispute between the Airline Workers Union and the Civil Aviation Authority of Kenya. ⑵ Kenya Airways subsequently reported that some flight departures and arrivals were affected due to air traffic control delays and issues at Nairobi's main airport. ⑶ From an operational perspective, the labor dispute directly impacts air traffic control services, leading to decreased airport operational efficiency, forcing airlines to adjust flight schedules, and disrupting passenger travel. ⑷ The progress of negotiations between the labor and management sides, as well as the duration of the dispute, needs to be monitored. If the dispute cannot be resolved in the short term, the delays may further escalate and affect the regional aviation network.
