After months of negotiations, Brussels Airlines has reached an important breakthrough with the cabin crew unions, leading to an agreement on the remuneration package of its employees. This agreement, which responds to the concerns of cabin crew after a tumultuous period during the corona pandemic, is a signal of recovery and commitment to the future of the airline.

During the dark days of the pandemic, when the global travel industry came to a standstill, Brussels Airlines employees, like many in the industry, faced unprecedented challenges. The staff had to make significant sacrifices to ensure the survival of the society. These sacrifices have now led to an agreement that not only expresses appreciation for the hard work done, but also lays the foundation for a stable future.

Filip Aerts, head of flight operations at Brussels Airlines, emphasized the importance of the agreement and the positive attitude of the unions: “We are very happy that we have reached an agreement with the cabin crew unions. We would also like to thank all unions for their constructive attitude in recent weeks. This shows that when we all sit down around the table and are prepared to make an agreement, mountains can be moved.”

The new remuneration package is a reflection of the airline's regained profitability. It offers improvements that increase the purchasing power of cabin crew without endangering the cost position of Brussels Airlines. Key elements of the agreement include higher wages for cabin crew, increased incentives for instructors and cabin crew in management positions, and improved allowances for nights away from home.
