Airport workers threaten strike over JKIA-Adani deal

The Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU) has announced plans to stage a seven-day strike to protest the planned leasing of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to a private operator.

The strike threat follows KAWU’s earlier call for the government to halt the leasing process involving Adani Airport Holdings Ltd.

The union claims that the government has not adhered to legal requirements for public participation and stakeholder engagement in the leasing process.
