Kenya Airways pilots call off strike saying some demands met

Kenya Airways pilots called off a strike Thursday after the carrier met some of their demands, the Kenya Airline Pilots Association (KALPA) said, adding they would fully resume work Friday. KALPA's members took the industrial action earlier Thursday to push for the removal of the airline's CE, prompting Kenya Airways to cancel all but 2 of its evening flights up to 2300 GMT. Kenya Airways had already cancelled 10 other flights. KALPA said the airline had made some management changes that met the pilots' minimum demands, without giving more details. The pilots had taken the action despite an agreement reached a day earlier to defer the strike until June 1. The strike lasted from midday until late Thursday, but for practical reasons full flights will resume Friday. <br/>
