National carrier Kenya Airways (KQ) #ticker:KQ was Wednesday plunged in a fresh labour dispute with 140 of its technical workers who are demanding higher salaries the cash-strapped airline insists it cannot honour.

The workers, who downed their tools on Tuesday night, remained holed up in KQ’s hangar at JKIA for the better part of yesterday, prompting the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) to disable their access passes in order to eject them from the site.
