Pilots at troubled national flag carrier Kenya Airways plan to go on strike from Saturday to seek better working conditions despite a court order suspending the industrial action, their union said Friday.
The airline, partly owned by the government as well as Dutch carrier KLM, is one of the continent's biggest, connecting multiple nations within Africa to Europe and Asia, but it is facing turbulent times.
"Kenya Airways management's actions have left us with no other option," Nyaga said, adding that a 14-day notice on the action had ended without a solution. "Industrial action is unnecessary at this point, as it will delay and disrupt the financial and operational recovery and cause reputational damage to Kenya Airways," board chairman Michael Joseph said in a statement.
