Kenya Airways was on Monday forced to cancel a number of flights after pilots refused to take up some shifts.

The pilots action was confirmed by the airline.

By press time, the reason behind the ‘go slo’ was not known.

"We have cancelled and combined some flights to manage the situation and to ensure our affected guests are taken care of," Kenya Airways said in a statement.

The disruptions at the carrier, which says it carries 12,000 passengers a day, started over the weekend.
