Kenyan airports faced widespread delays on August 30, 2026, caused by a staff go-slow involving Kenya Airports Authority and Kenya Civil Aviation Authority workers. Kenya Airways reported two-to-three-hour delays for JKIA departures due to air traffic control issues, while other airlines like Skyward blamed industrial action by the Kenya Aviation Workers Union.
The Kenya Airports Authority advised passengers to check directly with airlines and promised updates as teams work to resolve the disruptions affecting both arrivals and departures.
