Court summons Kenya pilots' union over strike

A Nairobi court on Monday summoned the Kenyan pilots’ union responsible for a ongoing strike that has left thousands of Kenya Airways passengers stranded, as the airline cancelled most of its flights.

The Kenya Airline Pilots Association (KALPA) launched the strike at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport at six am (0300 GMT) on Saturday, defying a court order issued last week against the industrial action.
