Kenya Court Halts Adani Group’s Airport Deal

Kenya's high court has temporarily halted a plan to transfer the management of Nairobi's main airport to India's Adani Group. The decision blocks a government proposal to lease Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for 30 years to the Adani Group. Kenya's main aviation union is concerned about potential job losses.

Kenya's high court has temporarily halted plans to transfer the management of Nairobi's main airport to India's Adani Group, as reported by the Financial Times on Monday.

The court order stops a government proposal that aimed to grant Adani a 30-year lease to operate Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, which is the largest aviation hub in East Africa. Adani Group has not yet responded to a request for comment from Reuters.

Last month, the Kenya Aviation Workers Union announced plans for a strike over the proposed deal, expressing concerns that it would lead to job losses and the influx of non-Kenyan workers.
