All flights to and from Brussels South Charleroi Airport will be cancelled on 12 May 2026 because of a nationwide union demonstration against Belgian federal government policy.
The airport said it cannot guarantee safe operations due to staff shortages linked to the strike action organised by the unions ABVV/FGTB, ACV/CSC, and ACLVB/CGSLB. Affected passengers will be contacted by their airlines regarding rebooking or refunds.
The disruption comes as Brussels Airport has also warned that fewer than half of its departing flights are expected to operate the same day.
The 12 May action will mark the ninth major strike-related disruption affecting Belgian air traffic since the beginning of 2025.
