🚨 Heads up, travellers! 🚨 Major disruption alert as Brussels Airport is set to cancel all departures this Wednesday, 26th November, due to a strike in Belgium. ✈️
This striking news means all flights departing from Brussels, including those heading to UK airports like Heathrow, Gatwick, and more, won’t be taking off this Wednesday. While the strike spans from 24th to 26th November, the airport will only face shutdown on the 26th.
Why the chaos? Staff from security and handling services are joining this national industrial action, and safety comes first. In light of this, the airport has taken the tough call to suspend departures in agreement with airlines.
If you’re booked to fly out that day, keep a sharp eye on your inbox! Airlines will be reaching out to offer alternative plans or refunds. Some arrivals might also see cancellations, so double-check those itineraries.
Public transport heading to and from the airport might also face snags. We’d advise allowing extra travel time and keeping all your booking info within reach should you need to sort out any changes.
Sadly, due to the strike being classified as ‘extraordinary,’ extra financial compensation is unlikely. Best advice? Keep tracking airline updates and brace for a bumpy travel week!
