All passenger flights departing from Brussels Airport today have been cancelled. The three trade unions ACV, ACLVB and ABVV are holding a national day of action. This means a major trade union manifestation for Brussels because the unions are demonstrating for more purchasing power and against the strict wage standard law. De Lijn and STIB have already announced that their services will be disrupted. Ine Pieters, spokeswoman for De Lijn, says that 60 percent of De Lijn's buses will run and 40 percent of the trams.

The airport asks travelers not to come to Brussels Airport. Airport Zaventem will experience the most inconvenience. This is how on Brussels Airport discontinued by G4S, which is responsible for the security services. Also the Charleroi . airport expects possible disruptions and calls on travelers to be present at least three hours before departure. Who flies with Brussels Airlines, can also expect problems in the coming days, as the airline pilots and cabin crew will then stop working on June 23, 24 and 25. Also with Ryanair will be discontinued next week, in several countries where the low-cost carrier is active.

Who can't come to work on time due to the action day, can telework or request a day of leave in consultation with the employer. Because the actions have been announced in advance, there are no unforeseen circumstances here. Travel organization TUI is moving two-thirds of the Brussels flights to Ostend, Liège and Antwerp. "We cannot guarantee the safety of travelers," spokeswoman Nathalie Pierard told Belgian TV channel VRT on Sunday. “We received information late this afternoon that there will be even fewer security personnel than expected tomorrow. As a result, waiting times can be more than eight hours and perhaps even twenty hours. That is an impossible situation and so the decision was made to cancel all departing passenger flights.'
