The Kenya Airline Pilots Association (KALPA) has withdrawn a strike notice that had been deferred on October 17, 2016.
In a statement to newsrooms on Thursday, the association's general secretary and CEO, Capt Paul Gichiga, said the association had been monitoring the developments at Kenya Airways.
“The Executive Council has been monitoring the development at Kenya Airways. Based on the specific progress on issues raised by KALPA, we are confident that these developments will positively impact on the airlines recovery efforts,” read the statement in part.
Last month, the association called for the resignation of the national carrier's management team, and threatened to down their tools if chief executive officer Mbuvi Ngunze and chairman Dennis Awori do not resign.
The association had earlier said it lacks confidence in the KQ board of directors and top-level management, in overseeing the recovery of the airline.
Awori was replaced by Former Safaricom CEO Michael Joseph on October 26, who promised to implement recommendations of an audit report that exposed massive corruption at the airline.
