Belgium Airports Disrupted by National Industrial Action

Brussels Airport has cancelled all departures on November 26 due to a nationwide strike by security and handling staff. The airport has assured passengers that airlines will contact them directly for options. Public transport and some public services will also be affected. Brussels South Charleroi Airport remains unaffected. The strike is part of a broader national industrial action in Belgium, with unions protesting austerity measures brought in by the government. The airport’s decision to cancel flights reflects the growing influence of labor unions in European aviation.
