NAIROBI — Aviation workers in Kenya have called off their two-day strike after reaching an agreement with the government and other parties involved in the dispute.
The Kenya Aviation Workers Union signed a return-to-work agreement on Tuesday and directed affected workers to resume their duties.
The strike had disrupted operations at several airports, including Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, causing delays and affecting travellers.
Under the agreement, the union and the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority will resume negotiations on a collective bargaining agreement.
The development is expected to restore normal airport operations, although airlines have warned passengers that some delays may continue as they work through the backlog created by the strike.

The quick resolution will come as relief to travellers and businesses that depend on Kenya’s airports as a major gateway into East Africa.
