Flights resume after airports strike in Belgium

0

Belgian airports resumed normal schedules on 15 October after a general strike halted passenger flights at Brussels and Charleroi on 14 October.

The strike protested government reforms to pensions and labour conditions, organised by unions ABVV/FGTB, ACV/CSC and ACLVB/CGSLB.

Brussels Airport cancelled all departing flights due to security staff participation, affecting up to 70,000 travellers.

Charleroi Airport suspended all departures and arrivals, with airlines offering rebookings or refunds under EU Regulation 261/2004.

The government aims to reduce spending by €10bn to address a 4.5 per cent GDP deficit and debt over 100pc of GDP.
