The extent of delays is difficult to predict, as it will also depend on weather conditions. In the event of frost, the devices will have to be defrosted, an additional task for reduced staff. However, the teams “will do everything possible to limit the impact” of the disruptions. The airport invites travelers to arrive on time on Monday, two hours before their flight.
If problems arise leading to one or another cancellation, these will be communicated on the airport website.
Announcements are multiplying in transport in view of the demonstration planned for Monday. Brussels Airlines has already communicated that half of its European flights scheduled for Monday at Brussels airport would be canceled. In addition to air travel, train traffic will be disrupted as well as public transport networks in Brussels and Wallonia.
The FGTB, CSC and CGSLB unions have planned a major action for Monday, January 13 to denounce the “frontal attack on pensions” planned, according to them, by the Arizona coalition negotiators at the federal level.
SNCB strike next Monday: what should we expect?
The situation at Brussels Airport
At least four flights out of ten on the schedule will not be operated on Monday at Brussels Airport due to a strike by staff of baggage handling companies, the company operating the Brussels airport said on Sunday. Security personnel should also take part in industrial action. Other flights could still be canceled.
The companies directly inform the passengers concerned. Each passenger is further requested to check the status of their flight before traveling to the airport.
For flights that are maintained, passengers must be on site in good time, namely two hours before for a flight within the Schengen area and three hours before for the rest of the world.
Anyone planning to travel by train to the airport should take precautions because SNCB will also be affected by the union movement.
Brussels Airlines, for its part, has canceled half of its European flights.
