Kenya Airways' pilots call off strike

After their union, the Kenya Airlines Pilots Association (Kalpa), called off a strike that prevented flights for days, Kenya Airways' pilots have started working again.

As instructed by a labor court, the pilots resumed work at 6:00 local time.

Tuesday, a judge made the ruling that they should return to work "unconditionally" while another court considers the legality of the strike.

Additionally, Kenya Airways must permit the pilots to carry out their responsibilities "without harassment or intimidation," according to Judge Anna Mwaure's ruling.
