Guinea: Flight disruptions likely as workers at Conakry's Gbessia International Airport begin indefinite strike on Dec. 7

Event

Workers employed by the National Directorate of Meteorology at Conakry's Gbissia International Airport (CKY) have gone on an indefinite strike on Dec. 7. The work stoppage will likely prompt significant international flight disruptions. Airlines may cancel or delay flights in the days ahead. CKY is Guinea's only international airport.

Significant travel delays and disruptions are likely. Striking workers may picket or hold protests near airports or government offices. Increased security presence is likely at any protests, should they materialize. Clashes between law enforcement and demonstrators are possible.

Advice

Reconfirm all flights and travel arrangements before departing for the airport. Avoid all protests as a standard security precaution. If clashes break out, immediately leave the area and seek shelter in a secure location.
