France does not have a monopoly on strikes during this busy autumn. While the French air traffic controllers targeted on 7, 8 and 9 October for their advance notice, theBrussels airport will be concerned on 14 October. The reason: national industrial action involving security staff. And the outlook is already bleak for travel in Europe and beyond since Brussels Airport has already warned that no flights will be taking off on this date.
The management of the Belgian hub says: " In order to be able to continue to ensure the safety of passengers and staff, we have decided, in consultation with the airlines, not to operate any departing passenger flights on 14 October. In the coming days, the airlines will inform passengers directly of their options. ".
Take-offs are not expected to be the only ones affected: some arriving flights may also be cancelled, warns Brussels airport. Disruptions are also expected in the public transport on 14 October.
Due to the national industrial action on Tuesday 14 October in which the staff of the security service provider will be participating, Brussels Airport unfortunately expects major disruptions to airport operations on that day.
