A strike at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, caused widespread disruption to flights, including those operated by Kenya Airways. The protest, against a proposed lease of the airport to an Indian company, led to numerous cancellations and delays. The strike highlights the urgent need for modernization at the airport, which faces infrastructural challenges and overcapacity. However, the situation remains unresolved, with no final decision yet on the proposed public-private partnership.
