Kenya aviation workers called off an industrial strike on Tuesday morning after two days of disruptions that halted flights across the country's primary hub. The stoppage, driven largely by air traffic controllers over the preceding two days, grounded numerous regional and international departures. The resolution aims to clear backlogs affecting transit corridors across East Africa.
