National carrier, Kenya Airways, have refuted reports that their flight schedule has been affected by the ongoing aviation workers strike.

In a statement to the media, KQ said “all Kenya Airways flights scheduled for arrival landed safely this morning.”

“There were two flights that were diverted but have since landed; KQ349 from Khartoum had been diverted to Kilimanjaro. This flight arrived in Nairobi at 05:17hrs,” read the statement.

“KQ505 from Accra that had been diverted to Mombasa, arrived at JKIA at 05:59hrs.”

The airline added that “reparations are underway for […] international flights to depart,” but said little about domestic flights.

“KQ210 to Mumbai estimated time of departure (ETD), 10:30hrs, KQ116 to Amsterdam estimated time of departure (ETD), 10:45hrs. KQ 100 to London estimated time of departure (ETD), 11:06hrs.

“We shall advise on domestic flights schedule in the next update.”
