Kenya Airways is NAS’s biggest client. The company caters for all KQ flights at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).

The airlines were reluctant to give details on how much more they would incur on operating costs, linked to weight and cargo space.

“We have to accommodate the extra weight when flying into Nairobi but cannot say how much it is right now,” Mr Mawadri said.

If the staff eventually acted, the action was expected to have a major impact on NAS’s business that has been thriving as Nairobi grows as a major aviation hub in East Africa and entire continent mainly driven by the expansion of Kenya Airways.

Efforts to get comments from the catering group did not bear fruits as the firm had not responded to requests by the time we went to press.

What's up with the NAS? In today's nation a number of staff have been charged in court for placing pins in food packed for airlines customers!

@ProverB, tis a simple requirement that all shareholders must receive an agenda and a set of accounts prior to the AGM. They have saved the shareholder the costs of printing and mailing that glossy brochure, which will be available to any shareholder who wants at the AGM.
