Striking Kenyan airport workers who failed to return to work on Monday have been dismissed, the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has said.
Some 1,300 airport staff went on strike on Friday demanding a pay increase.
According to the KAA, the dismissals affect about 50% of those who were striking at the main international airport in the capital, Nairobi.
A BBC reporter says police officers have been deployed to man the security operations at all the major airports.
"We take this opportunity to assure the general public that operations at all our airports have continued with no interruptions," Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper quotes the KAA statement as saying.
"The management have put into place contingency measures with the support of government agencies and other airport stakeholders."
