BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Brussels airport said on Tuesday it will cancel all outgoing flights on October 14 due to a national strike organised by Belgian unions to protest against a savings plan put forward by the government.
“Due to the national trade union action on Tuesday 14 October, in which the staff of the security service provider are participating, we unfortunately expect a major impact on our airport operations,” Belgium’s main airport said in a statement.
“In order to guarantee the safety of our passengers and staff, we have decided, in consultation with the airlines, not to allow any departing passenger flights to take place on 14 October.”
