Kenyan court halts Adani takeover of Nairobi international airport

Kenya's high court temporarily halted plans to transfer the management of Nairobi's main airport to India's Adani Group, the Financial Times reported on Monday.

The order blocks a government proposal to grant Adani a 30-year lease to operate Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, East Africa's largest aviation hub, the report said.

The Adani Group did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for a comment.

Last month, Kenya's main aviation union Kenya Aviation Workers Union called for a strike over the proposed deal, saying that it will lead to job losses and bring in non-Kenyan workers.
