Hundreds of travelers are stranded at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport following a strike by Kenya Aviation Workers Union members protesting a proposed management transfer to Kenya Airways.
The union alleges the move could result in billions in lost revenue and widespread job cuts, according to reports.
Despite the Kenya Airports Authority declaring the strike suspended, all flights remained grounded as of 3 a.m., disrupting air traffic.
Kenya Aviation Workers Union Secretary General Moss Ndiema was detained for organizing the protests against the operational handover to Kenya Airways.
