Nairobi: A planned strike by aviation staff at Kenya's international airport has been delayed by two weeks to "give dialogue a chance", a spokesman said Saturday.
About 10,000 members of the Kenya Aviation Workers Union had planned to walk out from August 19 over plans by the Kenyan government to strike an investment deal with India's Adani Group to expand and operate Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
"After deliberations, we have resolved to postpone our strike for two weeks to give dialogue a chance", the union's secretary-general Moss Ndiema told AFP, adding that a meeting with the transport ministry will be held Tuesday.
The union has previously opposed the deal, saying it was an attempt to privatise the airport by stealth.
The strike will now kick off on September 2 "unless the talks bear fruit", said Ndiema, without specifying further.
