On October 6, 2026, Brussels Airport experienced significant disruptions as a nationwide strike in Belgium forced the cancellation of multiple flights.
Staff from the ground handling company Alyzia participated in the strike, contributing to the operational impact at the airport. Belgian media outlets reported that the total number of cancelled flights could reach at least 140 for the day.
A spokesperson for Brussels Airport was not immediately available to confirm the precise number of cancelled flights amid the ongoing industrial action.
