Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>RwandAir has announced that some of its flights to and from Nairobi could be affected due to ongoing operational disruptions at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).<\/p>\n

The disruptions are linked to a labour dispute between airport workers and the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA), which has interrupted airport operations.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Monday, February 16, RwandAir confirmed that flight WB453 has been delayed to 20:50 local time, while WB402, scheduled for February 16, has been cancelled. Passengers booked on WB403 are being re-accommodated on WB453.<\/p>\n

The airline said its teams are closely monitoring the situation and working to assist affected travellers.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) said contingency plans have been activated, and passengers are urged to contact their airlines for the latest flight updates.<\/p>\n
