A nationwide public-sector strike in Belgium on Monday, 12 October 2026, is expected to disrupt trains, buses, trams and metro services, potentially affecting journeys to Brussels Airport. The airport says air traffic is currently expected to operate normally.
SNCB/NMBS is preparing an alternative train timetable, while STIB/MIVB and De Lijn anticipate disruption to their networks. The extent of reduced services will depend on staff participation. Passengers should check updated timetables before departure and allow extra time to reach the airport.
The action follows a separate strike on 9 October, when Alyzia ground-handling staff participation led to about 100 flight cancellations at Brussels Airport. Monday’s expected disruption mainly affects public transport. Air traffic is expected to be normal, but travellers should continue to monitor their flight status.
