Chaos Erupts at JKIA Terminal 1C: Passengers Trapped Amid KAA Staff Riots Against Adani Group Takeover

At Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), Terminal 1C has become the scene of frustration and exhaustion as passengers are trapped inside, locked in since midnight. Angry staff of the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) have staged riots, protesting the Adani Group's management takeover, leaving travelers stranded for over 8 hours

This protest is in response to job security concerns, with the KAA employees refusing to work, and demanding better conditions under the new management

One passenger, Marry Marigah, captured the dire situation at 3:40 AM, showing cold, tired passengers—some sleeping on the floor as no one has provided information or assistance. By 8:00 AM, passengers remained stuck, unsure when the ordeal would end

The unrest has led to chaos across the terminal, disrupting flight operations and leaving many calling for immediate intervention to resolve the situation
