Kenya Airports Authority

The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) is the governing body responsible for managing and operating airports in Kenya. Its primary facility is the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi, the nation's main international gateway. The KAA has recently been in the news due to a significant workers' strike that disrupted operations at JKIA for two days. This industrial action led to widespread flight delays and cancellations, stranding numerous passengers and paralyzing air traffic at the capital's airport. The strike was eventually called off by aviation workers, allowing normal operations to resume. The events highlight the critical role the KAA plays in national and international transit and the potential impact of labor disputes on its services and the broader aviation sector.
