Hundreds of passengers have today been left stranded at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) as aviation workers staged a strike.
The strike, which began on Tuesday night, has crippled operations at the busy international airport as the workers protest against a controversial takeover deal that would see the facility leased to a foreign investor.
