Keya Airways pilots have ended their strike. The pilots called off the biting strike late on Thursday night.
Shortly thereafter, the national carrier announced that its Human Resource director Alban Mwendar was leaving his position at the company. He had been the HR director since August 2011.
“Kalpa would like to notify all stakeholders of Kenya Airways and Kenyans at large, that it has called off the pilots’ strike,” Captain Paul Gichinga, the association’s secretary general, said in a statement.
“We wish to assure the public that from tomorrow (Friday) until the end of the deliberations with Kenya Airways management on June 1, Kalpa will crew all flights and extend goodwill to ensure that services operate optimally.”
Following the cancellation of the strike, KQ announced that its flights would return starting 6am on Friday. “We are currently in the schedule re-planning phase after our pilots withdrew their industrial action that paralyzed operations at our hub in Nairobi,” KQ announced in a statement.
