Three-day strike in Belgium: flights canceled and rerouted. Travelers advised to adjust their plans

Belgian trade unions have announced a three-day general strike in response to the government's intention to reduce both unemployment benefits and pension contributions. The protest is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, November 26, and will significantly impact several essential sectors across the country.

Brussels and Charleroi airports among the most affected

Among the institutions joining the strike are Brussels International Airport and Charleroi Airport. The shutdown of their operations will lead to the cancellation of a large number of flights.

Several airlines have already announced that during the strike, some flights will be canceled, while others will be rerouted to Maastricht Aachen Airport. This measure is being taken because Belgian airports will not be able to operate normally throughout the protest.

Recommendations for passengers

Passengers departing from Belgium are advised to adjust the time of their arrival at the airport, especially if their flight has been moved to Maastricht. It is important to note that this airport is located on the territory of the Netherlands, which means additional travel time and possible changes in logistical plans.

Airlines are urging passengers to constantly check official updates, flight status, and any new information regarding route changes.
