Description

Kenya Airways has cancelled an unspecified number of flights as pilots are refusing to work some shifts. The reason for the go-slow isn't immediately clear. The union went on strike last year, demanding the exit of the then board chairperson and chief executive. The disruptions at the national carrier started over the weekend. The airline sank into the red four years ago when tourism slumped following a spate of terror attacks. Last September, a massive brain drain left the technical department massively understaffed -- causing safety concerns. Months later, engineers downed tools citing poor pay, lack of promotions and unfavourable shifts.Subscribe to us on YouTube: http://ow.ly/Zvqj30aIsgY Follow us on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cgtnafrica/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/cgtnafrica
