"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.

Brussels Airport will not operate any departing flights on 26 November because security and handling staff are participating in national industrial action. About 30 departures will be affected, disrupting hundreds of passengers who must change travel plans. Major carriers including British Airways, easyJet and Brussels Airlines will be affected. Airlines will contact affected passengers in the coming days with options. The action is linked to proposed labour-law reforms from Prime Minister Bart De Wever, which include changes to pensions and benefits intended to reduce government debt. The airport and airlines decided the cancellations are necessary to ensure passenger and staff safety.
