Kenya Airport Strike Over Adani Deal: The troubles of the country's richest man Gautam Adani are not decreasing. After the protests against Adani's coal mining project in Australia, Hindberg's allegations, continuous attacks from the opposition, now protests are being held against the Adani Group in another country.
Thousands of workers protested at Kenya's main international airport against an agreement between the Kenyan government and India's Adani Group. This led to the cancellation of several flights and thousands of passengers were stranded at the airport. The Kenya Airport Workers Union announced the strike, alleging that the agreement would deprive people of their jobs and impose very poor terms and conditions of employment on those who remain.
Adani Group will manage the airport for 30 years
Adani will operate Jomo Kenyatta Airport for 30 years under an agreement signed by the Kenyan government. The Kenyan government said Jomo Kenyatta International Airport will be modernised and an additional runway and terminal will be constructed under a build and operate agreement with the Adani Group. Under the agreement, the Adani Group will operate the airport for 30 years.
Kenya Airways, the airline serving Nairobi, has announced that flight delays and cancellations are likely due to the strike at the airport. Last week, airport workers threatened to go on strike.
