Court orders striking pilots back to work

NAIROBI: A Nairobi court has ordered striking Kenya Airways pilots to return to work by today, a breakthrough for the beleaguered carrier after the days-long walkout forced flight cancellations and left thousands of passengers stranded.

The Kenya Airline Pilots’ Association launched the strike at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Saturday, defying a court order issued last week against the industrial action.

Justice Anna Mwaure yesterday ordered “the Kenya Airways pilots to resume their duties as pilots by 6am on November 9, 2022, unconditionally”. |
