The leave will enable the airline challenge the decision.

According to KQ, it has complied with the court order but has asked the employees to go on leave.  

“They have been requested to proceed on leave for thirty (30) days,” the airline said on Tuesday.

 The move will see the affected employees from the airline’s technical department locked out after the national carrier said the High Court ruling was made before listening to its side of the story.

 “As Kenya Airways, we do not comment on the court ruling because we do not understand how the judge could make a ruling about the airline’s safety without getting any expert insight,” it added.  

It said since December 6, it has had over 12 Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) inspectors conduct random ramp and hangar control checks on a daily basis.
