At least six early morning flights out of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi were Monday delayed on the runway in what one pilot attributed to "a go-slow by the air traffic controllers".
The planes, operated by different airlines including Kenya Airways and Fly540 and whose passengers had boarded on time, stayed on the runway for at least 30 minutes awaiting clearance from some controllers who were still working.
