The airline made this announcement on social media platforms. It cited an ongoing staff strike in Nairobi as the reason for disrupting flights to and from the city.
Along with Ethiopian Airlines, Rwandair and Ugandan airways advised their guests to wait for information as air travel to and from Nairobi is paralyzed.
The airline is keeping a close eye on developments and has expressed regret to passengers for the disruption to their travel plans.
The temporary suspension of Nairobi flights by Ethiopian Airlines is expected to remain in place until the staff strike is resolved.
Ethiopian Airlines, one of Africa’s largest carriers, expressed hope for a swift end to the labor dispute so normal operations can resume at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
Kenya’s airport workers union announced the strike effective Wednesday midnight after it emerged that the Kenyan government has proposed to lease JIKA to an Indian conglomerate Adani Group for 30 years.
