KAA ADDRESSES WORKERS STRIKE AND ASSURES THAT AIRPORTS WILL OPERATE AS NORMAL

The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has pledged uninterrupted operations at the country’s airports despite a looming strike threat from aviation workers. KAA confirmed receiving a strike notice from the Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU) on September 23 2025.
In a statement on September 29, Acting Managing Director and CEO Dr. Mohamud Gedi said the authority is working to address the labour dispute while safeguarding the interests of passengers, airlines, and partners.
Dr. Mohamud Gedi pledged that “airports continue to operate as normal,” with safety, security, and service standards remaining the authority’s top priorities.
“The Authority wishes to assure all passengers, airlines, and partners that our airports continue to operate as normal,” Gedi said.
The announcement comes amid concerns over possible disruptions at key airports, including Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi. KAA stated that its top priority remains upholding the highest standards of safety, security, and service excellence across all our facilities.
