A nationwide strike involving Alyzia ground handling staff will take place on Friday, October 9, 2026, at Brussels Airport in Belgium. This industrial action will disrupt operations managed by Alyzia, while Aviapartner ground handling services are expected to continue normally.

Approximately 140 flights are set to be canceled due to the strike, impacting about half of Alyzia’s handled services at Brussels Airport. The cancellations will affect 21 airlines relying on Alyzia for ground handling on that day.

The cancellations will cause significant travel disruptions at Brussels Airport on October 9, 2026. The airport confirmed the strike and resulting flight cancellations

but did not provide an exact count of affected flights in its statement.

The disruption stems from a nationwide strike across Belgium that includes Alyzia ground handling employees participating in the work stoppage. The strike targets key ground operations at Brussels Airport, a critical hub for air traffic in the region.
