The airline has declared a stalemate in meeting demands from its pilots who stayed away from work for a second day amid a strike by members of the Kenya Airline Pilots Association (Kalpa).
“Because of their hard stance, because they have given us their original proposals without any meaningful concessions, we therefore have a stalemate,” CEO Allan Kilavuka said.
Kalpa said it’s ready to call off the industrial action once management agrees to resolve the issues raised by pilots. The union called the strike last month seeking better working conditions, including lifting a suspension of payments to the staff provident fund.
