Uganda Airlines warns of Nairobi flight delays amid air traffic control challenges

What the report says

Uganda Airlines has alerted passengers to possible delays on flights to and from Nairobi after air traffic control problems at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Kenya’s capital began affecting operations. The warning was issued in a Monday travel advisory, according to Nile Post, which said the issue could disrupt services operating into and out of JKIA.

The airline said its teams were monitoring the situation and coordinating with aviation and airport authorities to reduce the impact on travellers. It also apologised for inconvenience and said it would keep providing updates as conditions changed. The advisory specifically covered passengers travelling on Uganda Airlines routes involving Nairobi, including those using the city as a destination or transit point.

Nile Post reported that the notice came one day after Kenya Airways also informed customers of delays at JKIA linked to the same air traffic control challenges. Kenya Airways said departures were facing delays while authorities and airport stakeholders worked on the problem. The developments matter because JKIA is a major regional hub, so operational disruptions there can affect schedules across multiple airlines and connecting journeys. As a general point of context, temporary air traffic control issues at busy airports often ripple through broader flight networks, though the scale and duration of this episode were not specified in the article.
