Brussels Airport: Full list cancelled arrival flights - as all departing flights axed amid national strike
Brussels Airport has cancelled more than half of incoming flights amid a national strike.
A spokesperson previously said that Brussels Airport is poised to cancel 110 of its 203 scheduled incoming flights on Wednesday. On the airport’s website it shows that dozens and dozens of arrival flights are cancelled today.
Brussels Airport said in a statement: “Due to the national industrial action on Wednesday, 26 November in which the staff of the security and handling service provider is participating, we unfortunately expect major disruptions to our airport operations on that day.”
Almost all arrivals are likely to be grounded. British Airways has already cancelled its links between London Heathrow and Brussels for the day. All departing flights from the airport are also cancelled today.
Marie Helene Ska, general secretary of the Belgian trade union confederation ACV-CSC, said ahead of the strikes: “This escalating strike strategy is necessary. The alternative – allowing the austerity measures to proceed unchallenged – would mean accepting a fundamental restructuring of Belgium’s social model, transforming it from one of Europe’s more protective welfare states into something far more precarious for working people.”
