The strike by aviation workers at Kenya's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi has ended. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
On Monday, August 31, 2026, the workers' strike slowed down air traffic, leaving many passengers stranded after their flights were delayed or canceled. However, the strike later ended, and airport operations were restored.
During the strike, passengers found themselves in long queues. One passenger was seen sleeping while waiting for a delayed flight. Qatar Airways flight attendants also waited to be cleared, and one passenger hugged a Qatar Airways flight attendant after a delayed flight was cleared for departure.
Details about the causes and demands of the strike were not disclosed, but the incident was captured by Associated Press photographer Brian Inganga and video journalists Zelipha Kirobi and Josphat Kasire. The end of the strike allowed the airport to resume normal operations.
