Brussels Airport is set to be closed to departing flights on March 31, 2025, due to a strike by labor organizations, including security staff. This may also affect arriving flights. Airlines are advising passengers to check flight statuses and consider rebooking options. While no flights have been canceled yet, Brussels Airlines is offering free rebooking and refunds as a preventive measure. Travelers are encouraged to consider alternative airports like Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt, and Zurich, along with train travel options to mitigate travel disruptions.
"As departing passenger flights are cancelled, cancellations are also possible on arriving flights," Brussels Airport stated in an advisory on its website.
Brussels Airlines advised travelers that it has not yet canceled any flights, but is providing free rebooking options and refunds as a precautionary step to alleviate any potential travel congestion.
Several American airlines have also been publishing travel alerts. For example, United Airlines recently published an advisory for travelers to Brussels between March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 that they can reschedule their trip without a change fee.
Alternative airports that travelers could consider flying into include Frankfurt and Cologne in Germany, or Zurich, Switzerland.
