Brussels Airport faces significant flight cancellations starting October 8, 2026, due to a staff strike involving ground handling employees from Alyzia. The strike, set to begin on October 9, is part of a broader national manifestation impacting operations at the airport.
Approximately half of the flights managed by Alyzia at Brussels Airport are expected to be cancelled during the week. Flights handled by Aviapartner, another ground handling company at the airport, are not anticipated to be affected by the strike.
Passengers booked on Alyzia-handled flights should verify their flight status carefully. Airlines will notify affected travelers about cancellations or changes,
while confirmed updates will be posted on Brussels Airport’s official website.
Trade Union Action on October 12
Additional trade union activity is scheduled for October 12, 2026, which may disrupt public transport options near Brussels Airport. However, air traffic is expected to continue without interruption during that day.
