Share

On Tuesday, October 1st, all departing flights from Charleroi Airport (Brussels South) will be cancelled due to a national demonstration by security, cleaning, and hospitality workers in Brussels. Nathalie Pierard, the airport’s spokesperson, confirmed that a significant shortage of security personnel has made it impossible to maintain operations safely.

Initially, the airport had planned to operate at 30% capacity, but the staff shortage resulted in a full halt of departures. Arrivals, however, are expected to continue as scheduled, but passengers are strongly advised to monitor updates from their airlines regarding any potential changes.

Passengers affected by the cancellations will be contacted by their respective airlines to arrange rescheduling or refunds. Charleroi Airport aims to resume normal operations on Wednesday, October 2nd.

I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
